Gran Reserva is the crème de la crème of Rioja. Its the level of Rioja which experiences the most oak ageinggiving it the most structure and ageing potential. This is aged for three years in oak casks which gives it delicious coconut spiceit then spends a further three years in bottle. Such care and attention usually adds up to a big price tag, but this is a real steal. The lengthy ageing process makes for a flavoursome wine with both fresh and dried-fruit flavours. Think cherry, strawberry and cranberry. Smooth. Full. Lusciously spicy. Its delicious with a roast dinner.
