The Viña Arana Gran Reserva 2016 Magnum is a distinguished example of the traditional Rioja style from the winery La Rioja Alta, S.A., founded in 1890 in Haro. Mainly crafted from Tempranillo grapes from Rodezno and Graciano from Fuenmayor, this gran reserva is characterized by its elegance, complexity, and aging potential. The 2016 vintage benefitted from excellent climatic balance, allowing optimal maturation of the grapes. After meticulous vinification, the wine ages for 36 months in American oak barrels, followed by bottle refinement that imparts its characteristic sophistication. Aromatically, it presents notes of ripe red fruits, plum, currant, vanilla, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is broad and balanced, with smooth tannins and a persistent finish. The Magnum format of 1.5L promotes a more harmonious evolution, making it perfect for long storage and special celebrations, perfectly accompanying roasted meats, lamb, and aged cheeses.
