Rioja’s Gran Reserva 904 is in a league of its own. It’s from the team at La Rioja Alta, trailblazers of traditional Rioja since 1890. Everything here gets kid glove treatment, from the cherished vines in the estate’s own vineyards to the cutting edge winemaking equipment in the modern, purpose built cellars. However, many of the old ways are still the best and the estate continues to use its century old cooperage to make the cellar’s barrels. After hand picking and hand sorting, grapes are pressed, fermented and aged in seasoned oak for four years. The wine is racked into new barrels every six months to gently remove sediment, prior to bottling in early 2014. Only released in 2017, it will be superb over the next decade with roast lamb.

"Very fresh, vivid with berries, dark spice and hints of walnuts. Full-bodied, reserved. A great wine" James Suckling
