Viña Santurnia Rioja Gran Reserva 2010
The Bodegas de Ayala 'Viña Santurnia' Rioja Gran Reserva comprises 90% Tempranillo, 5% Mazuelo and 5% Graciano grapes sourced from vineyards that are 50+ years old. As dictated by law, a Gran Reserva Rioja requires a minimum of 5 years ageing (24 months in oak and 36 months in bottle). The aromas are intense, complex and elegant with fresh fruit notes combined with hints of spice, vanilla and toast. The palate is velvety smooth and rich with flavours of cocoa and vanilla, there’s good tannic structure, balance and interesting complexity.
