As if that wasn't already impressive, other aromas such as mint/melissa and eucalyptus join in due to the aging in small wooden barrels.

This velvety red wine is full-bodied and complex on the palate. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Reserva Rioja flatters the palate with a pleasing feel, without lacking freshness. The finale of this red wine with good aging potential from the wine-growing region of La Rioja, more precisely from the Rioja DOCa, finally captivates with beautiful reverberation.

Vinification of the Viña Olabarri Reserva Rioja

The basis for the powerful Reserva Rioja from Spain are grapes from the grape variety Tempranillo. After the hand harvest, the grapes quickly reach the press house. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in small wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging for several months in oak barriques.
