Made with Tempranillo from 35-year-old vines on one plot of the superb Viña Pomal vineyard, this Reserva is a model of the modern Rioja.
The wine shows beautifully, with a violet-tinged ruby color and persistent aromas and flavors of blackberry and licorice typical of the tempranillo grape, as well as subtle vanilla spice from its aging in oak from Allier. The concentrated, complex body shows great balance and length, giving way to a persistent, flavorful finish.

La Vicalanda Reserva
Tempranillo from Viña Pomal's oldest vines is harvested at the optimum ripeness and carefully processed in the traditional way, with gentle crushing and destemming before being pressed and transferred for fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. By law, wines given the Reserva designation must spend a combined two years aging in barrel and bottle. La Vicalanda Reserva ages for one year in Bordeaux-style oak barrels. A blend of cooperage of varying ages and origins, including Allier French barrels, is used to add complexity. Once bottled, the wine rests for an additional two years before release.
