RIOJA ALTA 890 Gran Reserva 2004 750 ml

La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 890 from the 2004 vintage is an exceptional and emblematic red wine from the Rioja Alta region in Spain. Produced in a vintage rated as “Excellent,” this wine is made only in harvests considered to be of superior quality. It is a blend of Tempranillo (predominantly), Graciano, and Mazuelo, sourced from the winery’s own very old vineyards.
This Gran Reserva is characterized by a prolonged aging of approximately six years in American oak barrels, crafted in the winery’s cooperage, with periodic manual rackings to ensure its evolution. Subsequently, it spends a significant amount of time refining in the bottle before its release to the market.
The result is a wine of great complexity and elegance, with evolved aromas of ripe red and black fruits, notes of sweet spices (vanilla, cinnamon), hints of tobacco, leather, and a balsamic and mineral background. On the palate, it is a full-bodied wine with fine and silky tannins, a balanced acidity that provides freshness, and a long, persistent, and very sophisticated finish. The 2004 vintage in particular stands out for its balance, freshness, and aging potential.
