VIÑA VALORIA RESERVA
From grapes grown in Fuenmayor, in Rioja Alta, this wine takes a traditional approach with aging in American Oak. And It feels classical, with smoky notes of green fig and darker tones of plum-skin spice.
Cool and silken, warmed up by allspice and cardamom notes, this is a red to serve with sautéed wild mushrooms and flank steak.
