DO Ribera del Duero, Spain (85% Tinto Fino, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Albillo) 750mL

Gran Reserva Especial 2001. Made from a comprehensive selection of the best grapes from our own vineyards of over 80 years old.
Due to the excellent climatic conditions and the equally important good quality of grapes, supported by a careful control of the whole making process, we have been able to create this wine. For these reasons and thanks to the contribution made by a rigorous aging process in American oak barrels, this especial Gran Reserva wine has been highly recognized and awarded the MUNDUS VINI DER GROSSE INTERNATIONALE WEINPREIS GOLD MEDAL and 2005 MUVINA GOLDEN MEDAL in the International Wine Competition Presov/Slovakia.
