Rioja region in Spain produces Spain’s most famous wine, also called Rioja. Rioja wines are predominantly red (small number of whites) and red Riojas must be primarily Tempranillo grapes with a small amount of other varietals. Riojas are great wines to pair with food. Spanish Riservas require minimum 3 years aging including 1-year in oak before release and improve with additional years of aging.

Well-balanced with soft tannins resulting from long period in bottle – this 2010 Reserva is prime for drinking NOW.
