Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 2011

La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 2011

A timeless benchmark of traditional Rioja, Gran Reserva 904 is one of Spain’s most revered long-aged wines. Produced only in outstanding vintages and aged extensively in American oak followed by years of bottle maturation, the 2011 release reflects La Rioja Alta’s unwavering commitment to elegance, balance, and longevity.

The bouquet is beautifully evolved and complex, offering aromas of dried cherry, red currant, and plum layered with cedar, vanilla, sweet tobacco, and clove. Nuances of orange peel, leather, and earthy spice add depth and refinement. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and silky, with impeccably integrated tannins and vibrant acidity that provide freshness and lift. Flavors of red fruit, savory spice, and polished oak glide into a long, harmonious finish.

Fully mature yet remarkably vibrant, the 2011 Gran Reserva 904 delivers classical Rioja character with seamless texture and understated power.
