R López de Heredia Viña Bosconia Reserva Rioja 2012
A remarkable Rioja Reserva from the legendary López de Heredia. There’s no concession to modernity, with fermentation occurring in 140-year-old wooden vats, plus 5 years’ ageing in American oak casks, the rest in bottle. Remarkably intense and long.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

As critic Luis Gutiérrez wrote, “visiting the winery is like time travelling to 100 years ago, with no stainless steel or new oak to be found anywhere”. The estate is a cathedral to wine and tradition. In the vineyard, they've stuck fast to the old ways of farming, so sustainability is simply the norm. Unusually for Rioja, all the grapes are estate grown, from one of four extensive vineyards, each wine named after its individual plot. In this case, El Bosque. While their famous Viña Tondonia is all about elegance and nuance, Viña Bosconia is riper and smoother. Open early and decant.
