If one were to choose the archetypical Rioja, La Rioja Alta 904 Gran Reserva would probably be among the top three candidates for the title of «Quintessential Rioja wine».
The result of a vintage qualified as «Excellent» by the La Rioja regulatory board, this Spanish red wine is made from a traditional blend of two local varieties. The Tempranillo (90% of the blend) comes from over 60-year-old vines, while the younger Graciano is grown in the town of Fuenmayor, not far from the winery’s headquarters in Haro (Logroño).
The vinification process took place inside stainless steel tanks and was completed in January 2016. After finishing malolactic fermentation, this Gran reserva red wine was transferred into 4th and 5th year American oak barrels – built in the winery’s own cooperage – and aged for 4 years. Racking was performed every 6 months.
Masterly crafted and aged by the La Rioja Alta winery, La Rioja Alta 904 Gran Reserva 2015 was bottled in February 2020. Finally, the wine was aged for 36 months in the bottle before its commercial release.
This Rioja red wine has a remarkable ageing potential.
We suggest that you gently decant it at least 1 hour before drinking.
