Vina Real Gran Reserva is an exquisite expression of Rioja's renowned winemaking heritage, crafted from a blend of 95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano sourced from the esteemed vineyards of Rioja Alavesa. The grapes are hand-harvested from the region's finest plots, ensuring exceptional quality from vine to bottle. This wine is carefully vinified, with fermentation taking place in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in both French and American oak barrels. After maturation in oak for approximately two years and extensive bottle ageing in the cellars, the wine develops its signature elegance, complexity, and silky texture.
