Wine Description: Produced in Rioja Alta from estate vineyards surrounding the historic Ygay property, this Reserva reflects over 170 years of winemaking tradition. Long aging in American oak followed by bottle maturation gives the wine its hallmark elegance and complexity.

Flavour Profile: Aromas of ripe red cherry, dried cranberry and vanilla rise from the glass alongside notes of tobacco and sweet spice. The palate is silky and structured, offering layers of red fruit, leather and subtle oak. Fine tannins and vibrant acidity carry through to a long, graceful finish.

Suggested Food Pairings: Excellent with roast lamb, pork tenderloin, tapas or aged Manchego.
