Tasting note
Smoky, complex Gran Reserva Rioja, dizzyingly perfumed with truffle, vanilla, toast and notes of balsamic, the mouth packed with red fruit.
Viticulture
Celebrating 150 years, Sierra Cantabria combines history with innovation, behind iconic projects including Numanthia and San Vicente. Their Estate wines honour Rioja tradition, from Sonsierra de San Vicente vineyards sheltered by the Sierra Cantabria. Low-yielding, partly biodynamic grapes are hand harvested and carefully selected.
Vinification
The grapes are 100% destemmed and fermented at 28–32°C with indigenous vineyard yeast. Maceration lasts 14 days, with two daily pump-overs at first, then fewer to avoid bitter, vegetal extraction. The wine ages 24 months in American oak Bordelaise barrels: 25% new and 75% up to three years old.
Food Match
Beef, roasted lamb, game and roasted vegetables and sauces with wild mushrooms, spices and herbs. Aged cheeses.
