General Information
Bordón Reserva 2017 is a traditional Rioja grown on a selection of Tempranillo vines in the three subzones of Rioja: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental. The wine was aged for 13-14 months in medium-toasted American white oak (Ohio) and French oak barrels and subsequently matured to perfection for a long period in the bottle.
Bodegas Franco-Españolas started out in 1890, at a key moment in the history of winemaking in Spain: the arrival of French wine producers in La Rioja as a consequence of the spread of the wine blight, phylloxera, across French vineyards. Bordeaux-born Frederick Anglade founded the winery and began applying the new techniques already employed in the neighbouring country, which revolutionised Rioja wines.
In 1920 the winery became wholly Spanish-owned and has been run by the Eguizábal family since 1983. Bodegas Franco-Españolas' wines have been drunk in the main cities all over the world for decades, representing the classical Rioja style.
Bordón Reserva 2017 (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is ideal with soups and stews such as Asturian bean stew (fabada) and lentil hotpot.
The winery
Bodegas Franco-Españolas is a true benchmark among the historic wineries of our country. Founded in 1890 by the Frenchman Frederick Anglade, from the Anglade firm, together with other Spanish partners (hence the name “Franco-Españolas”), it is now entirely Spanish-owned and has been in the hands of the Eguizábal family since 1983.
Located in the heart of Logroño, Bodegas Franco-Españolas caters to the current tastes of consumers while respecting the winery's historical legacy, because, as they themselves state, “there are few things better than a good classic.” Its facilities, featuring elegant architecture, span 59,000 square meters, and its underground cellars house 15,000 barrels where their Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva wines are aged.
