Muriel Gran Reserva

An exceptional, classic Spanish red wine crafted by Bodegas Muriel from selected old Tempranillo vines grown in the premium chalky-clay soils of Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta. Adhering to traditional Gran Reserva standards, the wine undergoes an extensive maturation period, aging for 24 months in French and American oak casks followed by an additional 36 months of refinement in the bottle. It displays an attractive ruby-red hue with bright tile-orange reflections, lifting with an intense, elegant bouquet of mature red berries, dried plums, and licorice, seamlessly layered with notes of vanilla, sweet spice, leather, and tobacco leaf on a silky, full-bodied, and remarkably balanced palate.

Food Pairing: This finely structured and complex red wine pairs spectacularly with roasted lamb shanks, slow-cooked beef stews, wild game, or premium platters of jamón Ibérico and aged Manchego cheese.
