Viña Arana Gran Reserva DOCa.

Ripe, black fruit, elegant balsamic notes, and hints of tobacco, caramel, vanilla, and chocolate; on the palate, plenty of freshness, finely balanced acidity, soft tannins, and a pleasant structure; lively and elegant from nose to finish! La Rioja Alta, SA. La Rioja Alta is a true gem among venerable wineries. The portfolio of this Spanish legend showcases a fantastic selection of unique premium wines brimming with personality and charm. It is perhaps the best Spain has to offer! Anyone lucky enough to acquire one of these exquisite wines can consider themselves fortunate, as production is strictly limited to a yield of five tons per hectare. The family-owned winery was founded in 1890 in the town of Haro in the Rioja Alta region and today encompasses 415 hectares of vineyards with an average age of 25 years. Only estate-grown grapes are used – primarily Tempranillo. These are harvested by hand and transported to the winery under refrigeration. There, after fermentation, they wait for handcrafted oak barrels, the wood of which was imported from the USA and dried outdoors for two years. Every six months, all the wines are manually racked by candlelight.
