Frequently Asked Questions
How long is this Gran Reserva aged?
This wine meets the strict standards of a Spanish Gran Reserva, accumulating a total of 5 years (60 months) of aging between oak barrel and 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. Additionally, it helps separate any natural sediments common in a long-aged wine.
