22 months in US oak, broad expansively flavoured Rioja.

Wonderfully dry and refreshing!

Lovely juicy and unoaked style of Rioja from old bush vine fruit, packaged with a distinctive contemporary label.

This single vineyard Clarete (a traditional style of Rioja rosado - produced by co-fermenting red and white grapes together) is delicious, juicy and characterful, packaged with a distinctive contemporary label.

A cherry red with a purple rim which shows the wine's youth.
On the nose, this has floral notes leading to ripe red fruit.
Intense in flavour, velvety, meaty, with silky tannins that envelop the palate with an exquisite roundness. A smooth, well structured wine.
The grapes are harvested by hand during the last fortnight of October. Fermentation takes place using the Carbonic Maceration technique for 6 days at 24ºC.

At the time of release, this wine showed a bright crimson red colour. On the nose, aromas of sweet ripe fruit and delicate notes of smokiness. On the palate, tastes of cherry, plum and blackberries combined with gentle clean aromas of oak. Elegant mouthfeel, a full body and a fresh and fruity aftertaste. This wine still has plenty of life in it and should drink very well for the next 10-15 years.

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.
