Gran Reserva

1987 Rioja White Blend

The Lopez de Heredia Gran Reserva from 1987 is a stunning white blend that captures the essence of Rioja's winemaking traditions. This aged beauty showcases a medium-bodied character with high acidity, providing a vibrant and refreshing mouthfeel that invigorates the palate. Its fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of lemon zest, green apple, and subtle notes of stone fruit, harmonizing beautifully with hints of honey and toasty oak from extended aging. The wine is dry, allowing its complex flavors to shine without overwhelming sweetness, making it a perfect companion for a variety of dishes or a delightful sip on its own. This extraordinary Gran Reserva exemplifies the elegance and finesse of well-crafted Rioja whites, inviting you to savor its depth and character with each sip.

If you want to understand Spain, pour yourself a glass of Rioja. This historic northern region produces some of the country's most famous wines, typically mature, savory reds that go majestically with roast lamb. Rioja's vineyards trace the flow of the Ebro River through a valley protected by the nearby Cantabrian Mountains. Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano are the key red grapes, with Viura leading the white grapes. There are three main classifications of red wines: Gran Reserva (aged for five years, at least two in barrel), Reserva (aged for three years, one in barrel), and Crianza (aged for two years, one in barrel). Other wines can be young and unoaked—an increasingly popular style that shows off Rioja's modern face.
