Gran Reserva

2001 Rioja Tempranillo 95% Graciano 5%

The Ontanon Gran Reserva is a remarkable red wine hailing from the esteemed Rioja region, crafted primarily from Tempranillo with a touch of Graciano to enhance its complexity. This vintage from 2001 exhibits a deep garnet hue, captivating the eye and hinting at its maturity. The wine offers a full-bodied experience, beautifully balanced with high acidity that brings a mouthwatering freshness and vibrancy to each sip. Its rich fruit intensity showcases prominent notes of dark cherry and dried plum, intertwined with subtle undertones of leather and spice from its time in oak. The tannins are notably firm yet well-integrated, providing a structured backbone that supports the wine's longevity. As a dry creation, the Ontanon Gran Reserva invites wine lovers to savor its intricacies, making it an outstanding choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.
