The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The absolute showpiece of Voche Rioja, this Gran Reserva, with a monster score and many awards! This red wine has won several awards including James Suckling 2018 91 puntos, Mundus Vini 2018 Medalla oro, Decanter 2018 Medalla bronce, CM Bruxelles 2018 Medalla plata, Guia Peñin 2018 91 puntos, Decanter 2017 Medalla oro, Decanter 2016 Medalla plata, CM Bruxelles 2016 Medalla plata, Mundus Vini 2016 Medalla plata and Tim Atkin 2016 92 puntos. Yes... does it still need a taste description? Not really, but we really want to tell you something about this piece of craftsmanship.

This red wine from Voche Rioja is made exclusively from the Tempranillo grape, cultivated with love and meticulous pruning in the Rioja region. A great deal of work is required in the vineyard to give the 60-year-old vines everything they need. The final harvest is phenomenal and considered one of the best in the region. Everything is harvested by hand and rigorously selected, with only the finest bunches making it into the bottle. First, the wine is aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels. This allows the wine to develop even more oak influences, resulting in a stunning result. After this period, the winemaker decides it's not quite good enough and places the bottles in the cellar for at least another six months to mature in the bottle.

Yes, yes, a wine we'll never forget. An explosive aroma, with an excellent combination of black fruit and spices like cloves, dark chocolate, and toffee. On the palate, this wine is structured, rich, balanced, with a high concentration of ripe tannins, long, and with a complex flavor. We noted ripe black fruit, dark chocolate, tobacco, vanilla, cedar, and a hint of a spice rack. Too much to list, so experience and savor it until the last sip.
