WINE DESCRIPTION
This rich and complex Gran Reserva from Bodegas Olarra Cerro Añon is a classic expression of Rioja. The wine is made from carefully selected Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Graciano grapes, which are grown in vineyards located in the Central Rioja region. Following a lengthy maceration process, the wine is aged for 36 months in French and American oak barrels, adding layers of complexity to the finished product. On the nose, the wine offers aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis, and dried plum, along with hints of sweet tobacco, leather, and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is smooth and complex, offering flavors of ripe dark fruits, toasted oak, and hints of mocha. The finish is long and luxurious, with a touch of cedar lingering on the palate. Enjoy this beautiful Gran Reserva with a variety of dishes, from a hearty stew to a succulent roast.
