Product Description
Details
This classic Spanish red wine from La Rioja is produced by the López de Heredia winery.
From a vintage qualified as "Very Good" by the Rioja Regulatory Council, Viña Bosconia Reserva was crafted from Tempranillo and Grenache, cpmplemented with a small percentage of Graciano and Mazuelo.
After a meticulous harvest, the wine was traditionally vinified and aged for 5 years in barrels with two manual rackings.
Then Viña Bosconia Reserva 2008 was clarified with fresh egg whites, bottled, and aged in the cellar for a further 5 years before its release.
We suggest that you gently decant this reserve red wine from Rioja a minimum of 30 minutes before drinking.
This wine has a remarkable ageing potential.

Still young, with a surprising vivacity. Already delicious, it will probably peak in 3-4 years.
