Menu by chef Johan Ducroquet

2015, Crianza
​
Region: Rioja
Variety: Tempranillo, Garnacha

Clean nose with hints of balsamic and plum aromas. The mouthfeel is smooth with fruit and spice flavours interlaced with oaky notes.

2013, Reserva
​
Region: Rioja
Variety: Tempranillo, Graciano

The nose is very pleasant filled with aromas of fine wood, ripe fruit and coffee. The mouthfeel is generous, thick and unctuous with a solid tannic structure.

​2012, Reserva Selección de la Familia
​
Region: Rioja
Variety: Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon

Ripe berry fruits, smoky notes, raisins and liquor. The mouthfeel is full with a good presence of tannins and a flesh texture. Long lasting and lingering finish.

​2011, Gran Reserva
​
Region: Rioja
Variety: Tempranillo, Graciano

Intense and concentrated on the nose, warm and ripe, with notes of chocolate and cocoa. The mouthfeel is filled with wood, peat and coal aromas interlaced with spicy and black fruit notes. A wonderful vintage.
