La Cantera Reserva 2011
Cariñena DO
Loading...
Customer favourite La Cantera is the go-to wine for every fan of smooth, perfectly aged Spanish reds. It gains coveted Reserva status from patient ageing in barrel and bottle, and has a fine balance of red fruit, mellow complexity and oaky richness.

The Wine
La Cantera is so reassuringly smooth and welcoming that each new vintage release is like the return of an old friend. Well, it is made by one of our longest standing partners in Spain, Javier Domeque. He’s been making this gloriously mature treasure exclusively for us for nearly 20 years, and only ever ships La Cantera when it’s been aged to smooth, mellow perfection. Javier works under the radar in Cariñena, where wine has been made for 2,000 years. But the region is overlooked in favour of world famous neighbour Rioja, so you enjoy superb value for money here (and in the case of La Cantera, Rioja style quality). This is made from old vine Garnacha with Tempranillo, softened by 14 months in barrel and the rest in bottle. A classic.

Great taste, very drinkable! Smooth red. Great all rounder
