Frequently Asked Questions
How long is this Gran Reserva aged?
This wine meets the strict standards of a Spanish Gran Reserva, totaling 5 years (60 months) of aging between oak barrels and the bottle before release, ensuring absolute roundness.
Why is decanting recommended?
Due to its long stay in the bottle and its tertiary complexity (leather, tobacco, wood), oxygen helps to "awaken" the aromatic molecules. It also helps to separate potential natural sediments typical of a long-aging wine.
