Ondarre Rioja Reserva is a premium red wine that captures the essence of the Rioja region of Spain. This exceptional wine is made by Bodegas Ondarre, a renowned winery that has been producing some of the finest wines in Rioja since 1986.
The winemaking process for Ondarre Rioja Reserva starts with the careful selection of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo grapes from the best vineyards in the region. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 16 months in American and French oak barrels, followed by a further 2 years in the bottle before release. This lengthy ageing process gives the wine its distinctive character and depth of flavor.
On the nose, Ondarre Rioja Reserva has a complex aroma of ripe red fruits, vanilla, and spices, with a hint of smoke from the oak barrel ageing. On the palate, the wine is smooth and velvety, with flavors of blackberry, cherry, and plum, with a touch of cedar and tobacco. The wine has a long, satisfying finish that lingers on the palate.
The Rioja region of Spain is known for producing some of the world’s finest wines, and Ondarre Rioja Reserva is no exception. The region’s climate, with warm days and cool nights, creates ideal conditions for grape growing, while the winemaking tradition in the area dates back centuries.
Decanter’s Rioja Reserva of the year, this is super traditional, but also just rounded and smooth, with silky oak tannins, just everything you want from a Rioja Reserva.
Food pairing suggestion: Shepherds pie.
