Product Description

Añares Reserva is a classic Rioja red that showcases traditional winemaking with a modern vibrancy. It undergoes extended maceration to extract structure and complexity, followed by 18 months of aging in American oak barrels—resulting in a polished, silk-textured wine ready to drink or age gracefully.
