The Reserva designation is a legal designation. The requirements are strict: red wines must be aged for at least 36 months, at least 12 of which in oak. Bodegas LAN's vineyards are vast and expansive in the rugged Rioja region. This red wine is a true Spanish gem: three indigenous grape varieties contribute to the sublime LAN Rioja Reserva. Tempranillo naturally plays a role, but the moderate Garnacha and the distinctive Mazuelo also feature in this glass of Spanish wine.
Discover is the perfect word. Because if you're not yet familiar with LAN Rioja Reserva, you'll be amazed. Already familiar with this red wine? Then you'll never want anything else. The aroma immediately reveals the long aging. Unprecedented and intense. A red wine you'll want to linger in. Superb! Small red forest fruits like raspberries form the base, but the spiciness, thanks in part to the Tempranillo grape, also plays a prominent role in the aroma. The taste is sensational. Complexity reigns supreme with LAN Rioja Reserva. The fruit is clearly present, but pepper, vanilla, and cedarwood also enrich the wine enormously. Despite its power and fullness, the wine remains elegant. Never too heavy.
