Wine Description:
The Chavarri family of Bodegas Larchago is a cornerstone in the wine world of Rioja Alavesa. In 1882, Francisco Chavarri made the first ever entry in the Rioja Alavesa bottling register. This family's extensive winemaking experience is evident when visiting their 70-hectare estate in the small Basque village of Lapuebla de la Barca. Today, Paco and his daughters, Ruth and Maria, manage the family business, infusing their wines with the legacy of their ancestors and the essence of Spanish terroir. Despite a modern cellar, their true passion lies in their vineyards, where the old vines tell stories of their heritage.

Wine Expert Note:

Larchago Reserva is an exquisite wine with the best qualities of a reserva-style wine. This wine is known for its complexity, elegance, and aging potential. On the nose, Larchago Reserva offers a captivating bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla, cedar, and tobacco. These aromas are a result of the wine's aging in oak barrels, which adds depth and complexity to the overall profile. The palate of Larchago Reserva is rich and velvety, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and balance. The flavors of dark fruits continue to shine through, accompanied by notes of chocolate, spices, and a touch of smokiness. The wine has a long and lingering finish, leaving a lasting impression on the palate. Larchago Reserva is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has great aging potential. With proper cellaring, this wine will continue to evolve and develop additional layers of complexity over the years.
