Gran Reserva

2015 Rioja Tempranillo

The Ramon Bilbao Gran Reserva from the renowned Rioja region is a splendid expression of Tempranillo, showcasing the wine's deep, ruby-red hue that invites exploration. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied, delivering a wealth of flavors that highlight its exceptional craftsmanship. The acidity is vibrant, providing a refreshing lift that balances the wine's richness, while the fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark cherry, blackberry, and subtle spices. The tannins are notable yet smooth, contributing to the wine's structure and elegance without overshadowing the fruit. This Gran Reserva is remarkably dry, making it an ideal companion for hearty dishes or a luxurious evening spent savoring each sip. With its age-worthy potential, this 2015 vintage truly embodies the essence of Rioja.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
