Tasting Notes

   Licenciado Reserva has been made to satisfy the most demanding palates, using the newest technologies and winemaking processes but without loosing the Rioja character and the virtues of our thousand-year-old tradition.

   This Reserva has a deep red ruby colour, brilliant and clear, with outstanding aromas of wild berries, vanilla and spice. The taste is beautifully balanced, rounded and elegant, a perfect example of the classical Rioja wine.

Serving Suggestions

   Best enjoyed with all kind of red meat -we highly recommend it with lamb dishes-, game and strong cheeses such as Manchego.Try it also with chocolate desserts.

   Our suggestion of serving temperature is 16-17ºC. Let it breathe 1 hour before the moment of consumption

Varietals Used

   Tempranillo is the flagship of the varieties grown in Rioja and a reference all around the world. Its firm but elegant tannins, nice acidity and intense aromas of wild berries and liquorice give perfectly balanced wines optimal to be grown in oak. The unique combination of this amazing variety, our soils and weather provides these great inimitable wines.
