"Tempranillo sublimated in this Rioja, one of the best rated over the years by our 1jour1vin customers!"

"A seductive combination of ripe, almost lush black fruits, ground spices, walnuts and dried rosemary. Soft and refined on the palate, with medium to full body and velvety tannins. Quite open and ready to drink. Drink now or cellar. (James Suckling 2025) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

About the wine:

Made with Tempranillo and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, Rioja Reserva Seleccion de la Familia 2020 is supple, textured and complex, with an undeniable herbaceous note and a strong Cabernet presence. Fermentation took place in equal parts new French and American oak barrels, then the wine was aged for 20 months in second-use barrels. Cedar, blackcurrant, sage and even a touch of eucalyptus grace a full-bodied core of powerful tannins and solid structure that should continue to develop over the next 12-15 years. 2025-2040
