Ontañón Rioja Reserva 2019 - 6 x 750ml Bottles Description
A wine of considerable maturity, this Rioja Reserva reveals the elegance that comes with time in bottle. The nose opens with layered aromas of bramble fruit, warm spice, and delicate floral notes that speak to its developed character.
On the palate, ripe plum and blackberry fruit take centre stage, supported by bright acidity and mineral undertones with earthy complexity. The tannins have evolved beautifully - soft, supple, and fully integrated - creating a seamless, harmonious drinking experience.
This is a wine at its peak, showing the refinement and balance that only proper ageing can achieve. The structure speaks of oak influence without overwhelming the fruit, while subtle hints of leather and tobacco leaf add further dimension. Drinking magnificently now, with excellent cellaring potential for those who prefer to hold it further.
