"Part of the La Rioja Alta group since 1995, Torre de O¤a in Rioja Alavesa has divided its vineyards into subplots, studying and characterising each one and making and ageing wine from each one separately. The grapes for this reserva come from 60-year-old vines and were harvested by hand. The 2016 vintage saw optimal weather conditions during one of the longest harvests in the winery,s history. Sarah Jane Evans MW: Rich, enticing and juicy, with lot of sweet spice, ripe fruit and earthy notes. Savoury and appetising in the mouth. A great wine that,s bound to live for many years. Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW: Silky and juicy, layered with oak, pomegranate, redcurrant conserve and basil. Complex and long. Pierre Mansour: With hints of leather and spice, and ripe, textured tannins, this is a textbook reserva. Medium length."
