Rich and classic, this has long been one of the most respected of its kind.

This wine shows a deep red colour with shades of ruby on the rim of the glass. To the nose, at the time of release, it revealed a delicate balance between ripe red berry aromas and those of spices and smokiness. Over time, the bouquet has grown more complex, showing aromas of leather, coffee beans and raisins. Mouthfeel is as firm, elegant and smooth as one should expect from a Rioja Gran Reserva, with a surprisingly long and fresh finish.

Cubillo is the Crianza from Lopez Heredia, but is aged longer than most producer's Reservas. 'An iron fist in a velvet glove'.

Only the very best grapes are used in this special reserve.

Sourced from vineyards over 50 years old, fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 24 months in American oak. The nose has a great intensity of deep blackcurrant fruits with notes of vanilla and leather. Complex, well structured and persistent on the palate with smooth tannins.

Only made in the finest years, this ultra-traditional Rioja is much sought after.

Specially selected grapes from minimum 50-year old vines ensure the complexity of one of Rioja's finest.
