Rioja Reserva Especial, Bodegas Benito Urbina 2006

Bodegas Benito Urbina is situated in the town of Cuzcurrita de Rio Tiron in Rioja Alta. There are 75 hectares in total - 65 of Tempranillo and 10 of Graziano, Mazuelo and Viura - and the estate has been in the family hands for 4 generations. In 1975 the family decided to age and bottle their own wines and to this end major investment in the cellar and vineyards has taken place alongside a more organic approach to its viticulture. 

Aged in older American oak barrels, it’s savoury, spicy and sweetly wooded, with alluring notes of aromatic spices, leather and red berries and a vibrant, mineral-etched core. Mature yet wonderfully fresh and alive.

Grapes: 95 % Tempranillo and 5 % Graciano
