Don Jacobo's Gran Reserva is more than just a wine; it's a work of art, born from the depths of Don Jacobo's historic cellars. The term "Gran Reserva" is legally protected in Spain, meaning the wine must age for a minimum of 60 months, including at least 18 months in oak. But Don Jacobo goes above and beyond the norm, with an impressive 28 months of oak aging followed by an additional two years of bottle aging. Only with the cellar master's blessing can this wine begin its journey to wine lovers.
