Bodegas Señorío de Arana is a traditional house operating in Rioja Alta, and their Viña Del Oja Reserva is exactly what you want from this corner of Spain: Tempranillo with the oak treatment and the age it deserves. Reserva status means a minimum of three years ageing, including at least one in barrel, and the 2019 vintage has had exactly that kind of careful upbringing. The result is a wine that sits in the classic mould — structured but not stern, with enough fruit left to give it warmth and generosity. It will make you very happy on a Tuesday evening with a roast.
