The Altos R Reserva from Altos de Rioja comes with a dense ruby red and vermilion edge in the glass.
The first nose enchants us with an elegant mix of blackberries, blueberries, sour cherries and blackcurrants. Aromas of beeswax, cedar wood, some star anise, soft leather and a hint of smokiness complement. Fine barrique nuances always resonate wonderfully.
On the palate the Altos R Rioja Reserva is extremely dense, deep and perfectly matured. Round tannins, a harmonious fruit acid and an ingenious balance between fruit and spicy Barrica nuances guarantee the highest drinking pleasure.

After fermentation at 30°C, this 1005 Tempranillo ripens for 24 months in 80% French and 20% American oak. Altos R Reserva can then be refined in the bottle for a further 12 months.
