Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Red ruby colour with some notes of deep cherry, clean, good intensity on the nose, where the oak spicy aromas and vanilla are mixed with aromas of varietal tempranillo, floral, red fruits, blackberry and finally with a ripe garnacha at the end of the mouth. In the palate, it is a warm and long wine, with tannin and balanced acidity. It will need to evolve in bottle for one year in order to attain total balance, but its structured body predicts a long life in good storage conditions although it is very good now, and could accompany and enhance good Rioan gastronomy.

Professional Ratings

    They didn't make a Reserva in 2008 (they only produced a small quantity of Gran Reserva) so the current vintage is the 2007 Reserva, from a cold and late vintage which was produced with selected grapes from vineyards averaging 40 years old, mostly Tempranillo with 10% of Graciano, Garnacha and Mazuelo. The destemmed grapes fermented in stainless steel and the wine aged for 22 months in new oak barrels and was racked every four months. The wine rests in bottle for two years before being released. It was a cold and late harvest, and the wine starts displaying the time it has spent in bottle: it hints at the classical aromas of traditional Rioja, with some cedar wood, leather, coal and a core of cherries in liqueur. The palate shows very good acidity and freshness, polished tannins, good balance which makes it very enjoyable and ready to drink. Drink now-2019.

Vina Real, Spain
Vina Real  Winery Image

Owned by the CVNE family , Viña Real dates back to 1920. Today this winery is not only a winemaking pioneer in ageing Rioja Alavesa but a timeless brand that has always remained faithful to its roots, with authenticity and sincerity at the fore.

Ever since then, a meticulous balance between tradition and modernity has defined the shape and content of Viña Real.

2004 saw the inauguration of the new Viña Real winery in Laguardia, where the whole process takes place from receiving the grapes to dispatching bottled wines.

Rioja Alavesa grapes are at the very heart of this winery. The winery’s name was inspired by the proximity of its vineyards to the old Camino Real. Clinging to this same patch of earth and blending into the Cerro de la Mesa hill is a monumental 30,000-square metre vat: this is the Viña Real building, an iconic design built in 2004 that masterfully blends the construction into the Riojan terrain.

Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.

Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
