ASIAN FOOD PAIRING
La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 is amongst the most famous wines of the Rioja region, produced only in the best vintages.
A vintage rated excellent! Deep cherry-red colour with a garnet rim. Intense and complex bouquet of berry jam and orange zest, which opens up to reveal underlying spicy notes of tobacco, leather, toasted wood and chocolate. A yummy, powerful and seriously smooth affair thanks to four years of cask ageing and further bottle refinement. Full-bodied with generous dried cherry and plum fruit as well as oak spice flavours, silky tannins and a lively acidity. The finish is gentle, bearing a long aftertaste of citrus and balsamic notes.
89% Tempranillo and 11% Graciano. Tempranillo from vines over 60 years old in Briñas, Rodenzo and Villalba. Graciano from La Rioja Alta’s Montecillo vineyard in the municipality of Fuenmayor.
After collection in boxes, the grapes are transported to the winery in refrigerated vehicles to preserve all their integrity. After destemming and light crushing, the grapes were put in tanks where they underwent alcoholic fermentation for 17 days. Selected batches complete malolactic fermentation naturally over 75 days. The wine was transferred to four-and-a-half-year-old American oak barrels, where it stayed for about 3 years. During ageing, the wine was racked 8 times using traditional barrel-to-barrel methods.

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
