Rioja Vega Reserva

One of the most decorated wines in the Vega range, their Reserva has the perfect balance between fruit and oak. A wine aged for up to 4 years in both barrel and bottle, this wine shows all the sensual and mellow characters that so typifies this quality of Rioja, but in the hands of Bodega Vega each layer and element of the wine just seems to expand and become more enjoyable. 

This is where we begin to see more complexity of flavour. The nose has aromas of freshly picked berry fruits with a lovely hint of sweet vanilla. The palate is more intense in flavour with plum, blackcurrant leaf and tobacco aromas. Great balance and wonderful length on the finish. Try with lamb, steak, grilled chorizo, paella, tapas or hard cheese.

Initially started as the dream of one man, Don Felipe Ugalde in 1882, this winery has seen ongoing growth and development over the years. Don’s aim was simple, to be one of the countries most prestigious Bodega’s. Today it is owned by the group Principe de Viana who acquired it in 1983 providing investment in new equipment, staff and in 2001 a new winery, 10km outside Logrono, complete with an underground ageing cellar.
