Queirón Reserva Gabriel 2011

The Reserva Gabriel is Bodegas Queirón's flagship wine — a blend from two of the estate's highest and most prized single vineyards: La Pasada at 790 metres, planted with Tempranillo, and El Pozo at 650 metres, planted with Graciano. Aged in barrels and large wooden vats in the classic Rioja style, this is a wine of real distinction and exceptional ageing potential.

About This Wine

A premium Rioja Reserva from two high-altitude single vineyards — the combination of Tempranillo's fruit and structure with Graciano's aromatic complexity and acidity produces a wine of real depth and classic Rioja character. Still drinking beautifully, with many more years of development ahead.
