The Chavarri Rioja Gran Reserva presents itself in a deep ruby red that immediately catches the eye.

Spicy notes of black pepper and a subtle earthiness round off the aroma profile and give it depth. On the palate, the wine delights with a harmonious balance of fruit and tannins. The smooth texture leads to a long, elegant finish that reveals delectable nuances of dark chocolate and roasted aromas from the barrel aging. A true pleasure for every wine lover.

Vinification of the Chavarri Rioja Gran Reserva by Bodegas Larchago

The grapes for the Chavarri Rioja Gran Reserva come from the best locations in Rioja. Here, the vines grow under optimal conditions shaped by the Mediterranean climate and special soil conditions. The grape harvest is done manually to select only the best grapes. This care continues throughout the vinification process. The grapes are gently pressed, and the must undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The subsequent malolactic fermentation also takes place in these modern tanks.

Subsequently, the wine ages in high-quality American and French barrique barrels. There, the Chavarri Rioja Gran Reserva matures for at least 24 months before being bottled. This time in wood imparts its complex aromas and the velvety texture expected from a top-quality Gran Reserva. Finally, the wine ages for additional months in the bottle to harmonize and refine its aromas.
