WINE DESCRIPTION
Viña Otano Reserva is a premium red wine produced by Bodegas Otano, a renowned winery located in the Rioja appellation of Spain. The grapes used to make this wine are sourced from the winery's own vineyards, which are situated in the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria mountain range. The vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate and soil composition, which impart distinctive flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Mazuelo grapes, with notes of red fruit, vanilla, and spice.
