2012 Ollamendi Rioja Reserva

Rioja, Spain

Ollamendi Rioja Reserva is a Spanish red wine gem from Bodegas Marques de Teran that shows off the depth and complexity of Rioja, Spain’s most famous wine region. “The first wine in the world to be produced with natural energy: Geothermal energy…helping to preserve our planet.”

Ollamendi Rioja Reserva is intense garnet in color. 100% Tempranillo, the wine offers beautiful aromas and flavors of black cherry, cranberry and red currant perfectly integrated with the spicy aromas of oak aging--18 months in American and French oak casks. Medium-full in body with velvety tannins and moderate acidity, it is smooth and elegant on the palate. Well balanced to enjoy now and over the next 6-8 years, it is long and rich on the finish.

Enjoy Ollamendi Rioja Reserva with lamb chops, steak, roast pork, paella, and aged cheeses.
