Rioja Vega Gran ReservaThis Gran Reserva by Rioja Vega is heavy on the oak but rich on the fruit. The combination is a sumptuous wine that's ready to drink or will be rewarded with further ageing. Ruby red colour of medium intensity, clean and bright. Delicate and elegant balsamic aromas with well integrated toasted hints. Soft and fine on the palate, with well balanced structure and a velvety texture. Try with grilled meats, lamb dishes, risotto or paella. Initially

the fruit was cold soaked before undergoing wild fermentation and finally aged for 10 months in new and old French oak
