🍷 Bodegas López de Heredia – Viña Bosconia “Reserva”
Spain | Rioja DOCa | Tempranillo with Garnacha, Mazuelo & Graciano
Style: Still Red Wine | Traditional Rioja Reserva
Winemaking: Aged for five years in old American oak barrels followed by extended bottle ageing in the cellars of one of Rioja’s most iconic and historic bodegas. Crafted with time-honoured techniques—no filtration, minimal intervention, and a reverence for tradition.
Farming: From the Bosconia vineyard near the Ebro River, where clay-limestone soils and Atlantic influence contribute to freshness, finesse, and age-worthy structure.
🏰 A timeless Rioja—elegant, earthy, and steeped in heritage.
👁 In the Glass:
Garnet with brick hues—mature and radiant.
👃 On the Nose:
Complex and evocative. Aromas of dried cherry, redcurrant, leather, tobacco, and forest floor mingle with hints of balsamic, cedar, and sweet spice.
👅 On the Palate:
Silky and savoury. Red fruits and dried herbs are framed by fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and layers of evolved tertiary notes. A graceful, medium-bodied wine with remarkable persistence and a long, refined finish.
🍽 Food Pairing:
A natural match for roast lamb, mushroom ragù, jamón ibérico, or aged Manchego. Ideal for contemplative sipping or classic Spanish fare.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Already beautifully aged on release, but can evolve gracefully for another 10–15 years or more.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Viña Bosconia “Reserva” is a living piece of Rioja’s winemaking history—complex, soulful, and masterfully aged. A wine that whispers of time, tradition, and the art of patience.
