WINE DESCRIPTION
Bodegas Urbina Selección is a premium wine produced by Bodegas Urbina, a family-owned winery located in the Rioja Alta appellation of Spain. The vineyards are situated on the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria mountains, which provide a unique microclimate and soil composition that contribute to the wine's exceptional quality.

The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo grapes, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and vanilla.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Bodegas Urbina Selección is a deep, concentrated red wine with aromas of blackberry, plum, leather, and spice.On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with ripe tannins and an intense, structured finish. Its dark fruit flavors are well balanced by hints of vanilla and smoky oak. Enjoy this robust Rioja now or cellar it for a few more years to allow the complexity of its flavors to fully develop.
