Marqués
de Cáceres Rioja Gran Reserva

Result - harmony between fruit and
power.

Coto de Imaz Rioja Gran Reserva
A truly great wine. There are only certain years that these top quality Tempranillo
grapes mature enough to consider making the Gran Reserva. The grape must
is frequently “pumped over” its lees to produce intense, concentrated flavours
and then gain further complexity from a long ageing in new American oak.
A wine in total harmony with all its constituent parts.
