This month we return to the classics, Manzanos Reserva.<\/p>\n

First of all, what is a Reserva wine? The word Reserva in DOCa Rioja corresponds to highly selected wines with a minimum aging between oak barrels and bottles for three years.<\/p>\n

Our Manzanos Reserva wine is an elaboration where our vineyards and our barrels share the leading role. This wine is the result of the union of four of our best estates: “La Muga” and “Los Poyatos”, vineyards of the Tempranillo variety that are over 40 years old. \u201cLos Molinos\u201d, a vineyard of the Graciano variety, located in San Adri\u00e1n and \u201cLos Qui\u00f1ones\u201d, one of our oldest Garnacha estates. In addition, in the winery, it is aged for 2 years in French and American oak barrels and aged for at least one year in the bottle.<\/p>\n
