The Chavarri family’s 50 to 60 year old vines produce deliciously complex fruit – mellowed beautifully in this fine Gran Reserva after nine years in oak and bottle. Its intense black cherry fruit is perfectly framed by spicy oak and tobacco notes.

The Wine
This is a luscious, fine tuned Rioja from the Chavarri family, whose cellar has been up and running since 1882. Ruth Chavarri Muro is today in charge, the fifth generation of her family to take the helm. The estate’s vineyards are planted at 650 metres, on excellent limestone rich soils. Averaging 50 to 60 years old, they produce tiny amounts of really concentrated fruit – all meticulously hand picked and sorted. Aged in small French oak barriques, all new for six months and older for the next 18, this fine Gran Reserva – only made in the best years – blends cedar and liquorice with juicy cherry and plum with a touch of mocha on the finish. Wonderfully silky and mellow, it’s spot on with chicken, game birds, lamb or cheeses like Manchego.
