Gran Reserva 904 is one of the most prestigious wines in the portfolio of La Rioja Alta and a true benchmark of classic Rioja style with outstanding ageing potential. It is made primarily from Tempranillo sourced from old vineyards, with small additions of Graciano and Mazuelo that enhance aromatic complexity and structure.
After fermentation, the wine undergoes extended ageing in American oak barrels, followed by further maturation in bottle before release. This long ageing process is central to the identity of Gran Reserva 904, shaping its refined texture and layered character.
On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe red and dark fruit, dried plum, and sweet spices, complemented by notes of vanilla, tobacco, and subtle leather nuances. The palate is elegant and well balanced, with fine, polished tannins and a vibrant acidity that gives the wine freshness and longevity.
Its structure is firm yet harmonious, never heavy, reflecting the house style of restraint and precision. Oak influence is clearly present but carefully integrated, adding depth without overshadowing the fruit.
Gran Reserva 904 is known for its complexity and long, persistent finish that continues to evolve in the glass. The wine pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and mature cheeses.
It also has remarkable capacity to develop further with extended cellaring. Over time, it reveals new layers of aroma and texture, making each stage of its evolution distinctive.
More than just a top-tier wine, Gran Reserva 904 represents the philosophy of La Rioja Alta: patience, consistency, and a long-term vision of quality. For collectors and lovers of traditional Spanish wines, it remains a reference point for understanding what a great Rioja Gran Reserva can be.
