Tasting Notes

Cherry red, with sweet aromas of French oak, cinnamon, clove, and black pepper. Delicious full body, soft, elegant finish. 100% tempranillo, aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels.

Plush, spice-driven modern Rioja built around new French oak.

Why you'll love it: If you like a richer, oak-framed red, this delivers warm spice and soft, full-bodied fruit. An easy crowd-pleaser with anything off the grill.

The Grape

Tempranillo is Rioja's signature red grape, giving wines of red and black cherry fruit, savoury spice and supple tannins. Here it is aged for twelve months in new French oak, which adds the sweet spice and polish that define Altanza's modern style.

About Bodegas Altanza

Founded in 1998 in Fuenmayor, in the heart of Rioja Alta, Bodegas Altanza set out to make authentic Rioja with a modern touch. The winery is built on three principles: estate-grown fruit, a focus on Tempranillo, and careful ageing in French oak. With a large cellar of French barrels and a meticulous approach to its Reservas, Altanza crafts polished, age-worthy Riojas that balance classic character with contemporary precision.

Perfect with grilled meats, chorizo, or a board of cured meats and hard cheese. The soft body and spice suit smoky, savoury flavours.
