The Viña Arana Gran Reserva 2017 is a prominent representative of the classic style of La Rioja Alta, S.A., balancing tradition and freshness in its composition. This wine is mainly made from Tempranillo grapes from old vineyards in the Rioja Alta region, complemented by a small portion of Graciano. The latter not only adds structure but also provides notable aging potential to the wine. Its production process includes a long aging of approximately 3 years in American oak barrels, where periodic rackings take place. This is followed by a bottling refinement that allows the wine to achieve a high level of complexity and balance. Upon tasting, the Viña Arana presents itself as intense and elegant, with a nose rich in aromas of ripe red fruits like raspberry and plum, as well as notes of vanilla, spices, and balsamic nuances characteristic of its aging. On the palate, the predominant harmony gives way to a fresh and silky character, thanks to its smooth tannins and perfectly integrated acidity, thus offering a vibrant experience. This wine is noted for its length on the palate, with a persistent finish that combines the freshness of the fruit with subtle notes of evolution. Ideal for pairing with meats, stews, game, or even prepared fish dishes, the Viña Arana Gran Reserva 2017 is an excellent choice for those seeking a gastronomic wine with great aging potential.
