General Information

Grandes Reservas are wines with a long life ahead of them and have traditionally stood for the greatness of Rioja. Señorío de Ondarre Gran Reserva 2016,designed exclusively for Vinoselección, comes from a selection of Tempranillos with great structure. The blend has been enhanced with 5% of other varieties: Garnacha, Graciano... and has been aged for a long 36 months in American oak. Owing to its great structure, it was left to mature for a long time in the bottle to develop its elegant bouquet. You can drink it now or put it away, as it will gain in finesse and aromatic complexity over the next few years.

In 1985 Bodegas Olarra decided to broaden its range of Rioja wines, founding a new winery: Ondarre, based in Viana (Navarra). This firm is focused on making red Reservas that reflect the particular characteristics of this part of Rioja Oriental, with its landscape of century-old Tempranillo vines that grow in poor clay soils. Ondarre produces wines in limited quantities based on a careful selection of plots of old vineyards. It also owns facilities equipped with state-of-the-art technology and a cellar with 10,000 new American and French oak barrels. The constant renewal of its barrels is another of its distinguishing features.

Señorío de Ondarre Gran Reserva 2016 (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is ideal with pigs’ trotters stuffed with wild mushrooms or roasted baby lamb chops.

The winery

Bodegas Ondarre

Founded in Viana in 1986, Bodegas Ondarre belongs to the Grupo Bodegas Olarra, one of the most renowned consortia within the D.O.Ca. Rioja. Ondarre is a smaller-scale winery with lower production than the group's original winery (Olarra), and it specializes in the production of reservas. Additionally, it produces a barrel-fermented white wine and some cavas. Attention to detail is one of the keys to the success of its wines, which have maintained high standards of quality since their inception.
