"Tempranillo at its finest in this Rioja, one of the highest rated wines over the years by our 1jour1vin customers 1jour1vin "

“An enticing blend of ripe, almost lush black fruit, ground spices, nuts, and dried rosemary. It is smooth and refined on the palate, with a medium- to full-bodied structure and velvety tannins. Fairly open and ready to drink. Enjoy now or cellar. ” (James Suckling 2025) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and selected shipping method)

About wine:

Made from Tempranillo and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Rioja Reserva Selección de la Familia is supple, textured, and complex, with an unmistakable herbal note and a pronounced Cabernet character. Fermentation took place in equal parts new French and American oak barrels, after which the wine was aged for 20 months in second-use barrels. Cedar, blackcurrant, sage, and even a hint of eucalyptus complement a full-bodied core with powerful tannins and a solid structure that should continue to develop over the next 12 to 15 years. 2025–2040
