López de Heredia 'Viña Bosconia' Rioja Reserva

The Bosconia is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacho, and 5% Mazuelo and Graciano. The vineyard, "El Bosque" is situated right by the Ebro river at over 1500 meters above sea level, helping the grapes both ripen and maintain lovely acidity. The wine is aged in American Oak for 5 years, being racked twice a year, and aged in bottle for 4 years. This wine has evolved perfectly showing a deep ruby colour with shades of orange. Its nose is persistent, full bodied and showing a lot of mature fruit, being dominated by the Tempranillo grape. Its taste is round, smooth, fresh, and full of body. We would love to have this with a roast chicken over brussels sprouts delicata squash.
