This is a very layered and delicious wine already. Full body. Rich and flavorful with ripe strawberry and cherry character. Salty and flavorful. Softness to the structure. Drink or hold.

The textbook Rioja Alavesa red 2016 Viña Real Reserva was produced with 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano, Garnacha and Mazuelo, mostly from their own grapes. It fermented in stainless steel vats and matured in new and second use barriques for 22 months. This is a more delicate version of the Reserva with added freshness and a touch of red fruit. It has contained ripeness, elegance and balance with very tasty flavors and abundant fine-grained tannins. 142,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2019.

Bright and lively, this red shows cherry, currant, fresh herb and orange peel flavors that have a tangy edge. Light, firm tannins and citrusy acidity provide energy and focus as this finds a middle ground between modern and traditional. Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano. Drink now through 2026. 8,400 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.
