Wine Gran Reserva 904:
- Wine Tasting Notes:
Colour: Ruby red colour with brick red edges and a medium robe. A very bright wine with fine and elegant tears tears on the glass.
Nose: High intensity nasal aromas. A fresh and crispy wine with refined notes of candied fruits and a touch of liquor which appear on a balsamic and spiced background with notes of leather, coffee and minty chocolate.
Taste: This is a structured, round wine with sweet tannins, elegantly polished during its long ageing in barrels and in the bottle. Broad after-taste which provides a soft and persistent finish.

The harvest is carried out by hand and the grapes go through a rigorous selection process.
After the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, Rioja Alta 904 Gran Reserva ages for 4 years in American oak barrels made in the winery's cooperage. Every 6 months the wine is racked barrel by barrel according to the traditional method.
