D.O.Rioja/Javier-La Taconera 0.75l

This premium red wine from Rioja combines tradition and masterful winemaking. Intense ruby colour with elegant violet glints invites the first sip, while an aroma full of ripe cherries, plums and blackberries gradually opens into notes of liquorice, cocoa and vanilla, gained by the wine through careful ageing in oak barrels. On the tongue it is full-bodied, velvety soft and perfectly balanced, with gentle tannins and a long mineral finish that invites another taste.

Grape variety: This exclusive wine is made from 100% Tempranillo, a variety synonymous with top-quality red wines from Rioja. Thanks to careful work in the vineyard and precise grape processing, the wine gains a rich structure, elegant tannins and a deep fruity expression.

Ageing: After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation followed by long ageing in 1,200-litre oval barrels made of French oak. This ageing method gives the wine depth, a delicate vanilla note and perfectly rounded tannins, without overpowering its authentic fruity character.

Vineyard: The grapes come from a single, unique vineyard in Laguardia, planted as far back as 1920. This historic vineyard covers just 0.39 hectares, allowing maximum care for every vine. It lies at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria, at an altitude of 600 metres, where a cooler climate and clay soils help preserve the wine's freshness and elegance. The vines are trained using the traditional "en vaso" system supported by vertical posts, while the dense planting of 5,000 vines per hectare encourages natural competition between the plants, increasing the concentration of flavours in the grapes.

Tasting notes: Colour: Deep ruby with violet glints, Aroma: Intense scent of ripe cherries, plums and blackberries, complemented by delicate notes of liquorice, cocoa and vanilla from the oak barrel, Taste: Full-bodied, elegant and perfectly balanced, with finely structured tannins and a long mineral finish

Food pairing: This premium Tempranillo from Rioja pairs wonderfully with mature cheeses, red meat, game and grilled dishes. It is also ideal with moderately spiced dishes and traditional Spanish cuisine, where it accentuates the fullness of flavours.
