Rioja is one of Spain's most famous wine regions, located in the north of the country. The region produces mainly red wines based on the Tempranillo grape, which is the typical variety of the area. Rioja is divided into three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Baja and Rioja Alavesa, each of which has a different climate and terroir. From this interesting wine area comes this Reserva, made from pure Tempranillo grapes by Bodega Sonsierra. The grapes come from old vineyards on the slopes of the Sierra de Cantabria, harvested by hand and vinified using traditional methods. In the glass, the wine has a beautiful garnet red colour with ruby highlights. On the nose, aromas of ripe black fruit and liquorice, perfectly balanced with the toasted, spicy and balsamic notes that derive from its stay in the barrel and give it great complexity. In the mouth, on the other hand, the tannins are delicate and make it round and velvety, with some toasted nuances in the finish that give it a pleasant memory. Perfect for enhancing game dishes, but also roasts, stews and very mature cheeses.
