About this wine

This Montelciego Rioja Gran Reserva is a dry, full-bodied red based on tempranillo. It brings together ripe red and dark fruit, savoury spice, tobacco-like notes and evolved hints of oak and leather, in keeping with extended ageing. Its lively acidity keeps the wine fresh; the exact balance and maturity will vary by vintage.
