The Timeless Elegance of Rioja Alta
The Gonzalo de Berceo Gran Reserva Red Wine is a living tribute to the oenological mastery that has given worldwide fame to the Barrio de la Estación in Haro. Produced by the legendary Gonzalo de Berceo winery (originally founded in 1801 and now managed by the Manzanos family), this wine is the result of a strict selection of old Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo vines planted on highly balanced clay-limestone soils. Crafted only in vintages of exceptional quality, this Gran Reserva perfectly embodies the coveted aristocratic Riojan profile.
