Rioja Alta Tempranillo Riserva

Rioja Estate · Rioja · Spain

Rioja Alta Tempranillo Riserva is an red wine from Spain, in the Rioja region (Northern Spain, along the Ebro river, split between the regions of La Rioja, Álava and Navarra.), made principally from Tempranillo. a reserve-tier Rioja Alta tempranillo that represents the region's premium bottled expression.

In character, this core tier delivers the classic tempranillo profile — cherry, dried fig, cedar, cocoa — with the structural stamp of Rioja and a medium-to-full-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
