    Product description

    Handpicked in small cases, Vitola Reserva is from 1970s vines on a Northwest-facing slope. Altitude and sun exposure create a subtle, deep, balanced reserve. Planted in less fertile hills in Briones, away from the River Ebro. Fermented at 28ºC in small stainless-steel vats. Daily pump-overs. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation followed immediately. Aged two years in 29 barrels of French and American oak (30% new). Racked every six months, regular toppings every two months. Ripe red and black fruit aromas with cloves, black pepper and spice. Tobacco, liquorice and coffee on the palate. Fresh, intense, long and well-balanced.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Miguel Merino

    Bodega Miguel Merino is one of the smallest cellars of DOC Rioja. It was founded in 1994 by Miguel Merino Snr, who after many years exporting Spanish wines throughout the world, he made his dream of having a small ‘bodega’ to make the best possible wines, come true. Miguel established his winery in Briones, one of the most beautiful villages in Rioja and most importantly one of the few areas in Rioja Alta that kept old vineyards. All of the bodega’s vineyards are from the surrounding area, spread across no less than 34 parcels of land planted under vine between the end of the 19th century and 2001. The vineyard holdings total almost 13 hectares with just 55,000kgs of grapes harvested on average each year. Traditional and sustainable viticulture practices are followed with no use of herbicides and most of the work carried out by hand. The bodega’s reputation has soared in recent years under the stewardship of Miguel’s son (also Miguel), reinforced by the recent elevation to Rioja First Growth in Tim Atkin’s annual classification.
