Choosing a Reserva wine opens the door to another dimension. These wines are more savory and complex, with tannic balance and an elegant and velvety mouthfeel.
In our Reserva you will find notes of riper fruit combined with balsamic and toasted aromas, characteristics that hint at the time spent in barrel.
Elegant and smooth in the glass, but you are instantly flooded with caramel sensations, flavors of currants, blackberries and violet hard candy, so characteristic of the Maturana Tinta variety. With a creamy finish reminiscent of chocolate and vanilla.
TIM ATKIN: There are only a few notes of Maturana Tinta in this wine, along with 94% Tempranillo and 4% Garnacha, but you can see its presence. Young, refreshing, and lightly toasted with the classic freshness of the Badarán area. Black cherry and strawberry with a light herbal background.

18 months in barrel and 26 months in bottle. French oak.
A classic of traditional popular cuisine that captivates by its simplicity and where the quality of the ingredients is essential. Sautéed onion, tomato, and red bell pepper forms the base where the cod fillet is cooked. A unique fusion is achieved between the sea and Riojan gardens.
Classic hand harvest, destemmed. Alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts in small, temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, separated by variety. Subsequent aging, also separately, in new French oak barrels.
For their final few months in barrel, the three varieties were blended to age together for their last stage of aging.
APPEARANCE: Intense, medium-dark, garnet red with ruby reflections.
NOSE: High aromatic expression in a wine that evolves slowly in the glass and gradually shows its fruity aromas (black currant, blackberry, and ripe cherry). A touch of balsamic, vanilla from the wood in the background, and a slight minerality.
PALATE: Refreshing entry. A rich wine with cocoa and vanilla nuances from its time in oak. The long finish leaves the palate imbued with a complex range of aromas that are inviting to drink.
After a favorable growing season, the harvest yielded very good results in terms of both quality and quantity.
The most outstanding qualities of the vintage are the great balance shown by the wines between acidity and alcohol content, their aromatic quality and their excellent phenolic maturity. All this gives them a lot of depth and persistence.
The great balance between acidity and alcohol content provides freshness as well as phenolic ripeness, a very exciting duality. In addition to the intensity and aromatic quality, the excellent phenolic maturity equates to smooth and round tannins in the mouth, resulting in wines of great depth and persistence.
