Legal ageing tiers — each step means more time in barrel and bottle before release. Gran Reserva Rioja spends at least five years maturing before you ever see it.

What does Tempranillo taste like?

Red cherry and plum with leather, vanilla and dried herbs from oak ageing — imagine a bridge between Sangiovese's savouriness and Shiraz's generosity.
