Gran Vino

Rioja 70% Tempranillo, 28% Garnacha, 2% Viura

La Emperatriz Gran Vino is a splendid red wine hailing from the renowned Rioja region, a territory celebrated for producing some of Spain’s finest wines. This blend of 70% Tempranillo, 28% Garnacha, and a touch of 2% Viura showcases the expertise of Rioja’s winemaking tradition. The Tempranillo imparts a full-bodied richness with powerful notes of dark fruit and a firm tannic structure, while the Garnacha contributes a lively acidity that adds an appealing brightness and a hint of red berry sweetness. The small addition of the Viura varietal lends a subtle complexity, enhancing the wine's aromatics with delicate floral nuances. The result is an elegantly balanced wine that delivers profound depth and a lingering, sophisticated finish. With every sip, La Emperatriz Gran Vino exemplifies Rioja’s ability to masterfully craft wines of exceptional quality and distinction.

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.
