Merchant's description

The Remírez de Ganuza Rioja Gran Reserva 2008 is a full-bodied, mature Rioja that exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship of Bodegas Remírez de Ganuza. This Tempranillo-dominant blend offers a structured profile featuring notes of dark berries, earthy leather and subtle spices. The palate reveals a rich full-bodied character, complemented by a notable acidity that enhances its freshness. The grapes are selectively harvested from the ripest portions of the vineyard, where vines average 60 years old. This Gran Reserva showcases the potential of an exceptional vintage for cellaring.
