A gem of a micro-production wine only available from Vinoselección that you’ll fall in love with right away.
In Rioja, Grandes Reservas represent the pinnacle of tradition: wines that are only released after long ageing and are made from a painstaking selection of the best grapes. In this prestigious category there are vintages that are particularly remarkable for their depth of flavour, balance and ability to thrill you from the very first sip. Take, for instance, Cerro Añón Gran Reserva 2019, one of those gems that remind us why time is still a wine’s best ally.

Cerro Añón Gran Reserva 2019 is proof that excellence takes time. It’s made from a careful selection of Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano, varieties that attain their fullest expression after a long ageing process that only Grandes Reservas can offer. In this case, a total of 30 months in new French and American oak barrels has matured an exceptional blend to perfection. Its style combines tradition, finesse and a depth that will win you over from the very first sip, placing it among the most outstanding red wines in its category.
Bodegas Olarra, one of the most legendary wineries in Rioja, has been championing a classic and elegant style for decades, one that’s shaped the identity of the region. Its iconic architecture, commitment to precision winemaking and established track record have made it an undisputed leader. Every wine produced at its facilities reflects this focus on quality and the historical essence of Rioja.
Critics have enthused over its quality: 93 points from Tim Atkin and gold medals at the Berliner Wein Trophy and Mundus Vini attest to its class. It goes perfectly with traditional roasts, red meats, game stews and mature cheeses. A Gran Reserva that sums up the best of Rioja and deserves a prominent place in any personal wine collection with its great balance and prestige. Its structure and harmony make it an ideal red to enjoy now or to keep for a few more years.
