Product Description
Details

Sourced from over 25-year-old vineyards, Lan Reserva is produced by the well-known winery Bodegas Lan.

The main variety of this Spanish red wine is Tempranillo, rounded with a 5% Mazuela (Carignan), coming from several plots of vines located in the Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa subzones. The 2016 vintage was very good, with a cold winter followed by a rainy spring and a hot summer with little rainfall, at the end of which the grapes were fully ripen and in an excellent sanitary condition.

Hand-picked and selected on site and in the premises, the grapes were fermented under controlled temperature and macerated for 3 weeks with frequent pump-overs to extract colour and tannin content.

After that, this red wine from La Rioja was aged for 20 months in hybrid -French and American- oak barrels.

Finally, Lan Reserva 2017 was bottled and aged for another 18 months before being released onto the market.

This is a smooth, elegant Reserva red wine.

Pair with casseroles and meat recipes.

Additional Information
Appearance

The red wine Lan Reserva is deep ruby with a garnet hue.

Nose

This wine from Tempranillo and Mazuela is nuanced and suggestive, with remembrances of forest berries and sour cherries, a splash of black pepper, clove and cinnamon, and some balsamic and toasted suggestions.

Palate

This reserva of Bodegas Lan has a smooth entrance and a lively, fresh mid-palate with medium tannins, a smokey and balsamic hint, a core of ripe ruit and a long spicy finish.

Our personal opinion

Classy and poised, Lan Reserva 2017 is a winner.
