Vallobera Rioja Reserva 2006

Dark cherry red in colour, the nose is elegant, well balanced, full of fruit berry aromas with hints vanilla from time in oak. The structure is firm, with gripping tannins, yet soft on the palate before a long lingering finish. Expect flavours of espresso, violets and rich, chocolatey black berry fruit.

Ideal to accompany red meat, game and rich casseroles.

An extended stay in barrel (almost 2 years) & bottle brings incredible complexity to this high-end, long living Rioja.

The San Pedro family has centuries-long heritage of vineyard working and winemaking in the village of Laguardia in the heart of Rioja Alavesa. Bodegas Vallobera owns 80 ha of prime vineyards. Vallobera is the highest-located vineyard and, in fact, one of the highest in the whole of Rioja. 

100% Tempranillo grapes, 21 months oak ageing in a combination of French (40%) and American (60%) oak.
