- Savoury and mellow flavours complement vanilla and chocolate notes from oak ageing. This is a traditional savoury Rioja style. Subtle hints of vanilla oak complement spicy, ripe fruit aromas. On the palate, savoury characters are layered with ripe fruit flavours in this traditionally styled Rioja.
The vineyards are situated on Rioja Valley's northern hills on south-facing slopes at an altitude of 550 metres above sea level. The vines, which have an average age of 25 years, are planted in uneven terrain due to several streams that run down the mountains that mark the northern border of Rioja. The soils are generally poor in nutrients and very shallow, just 30 to 35 centimetres in depth, encouraging the vines to send their roots deeper in search of nutrients and water. The soils vary from plot to plot, but clay-based soils are prevalent, with high iron and chalk content. The clay content retains water, which nourishes the vines during the warm summers, and the iron content is an essential nutrient for photosynthesis.

| Winery | Bodegas Ondarre was founded in 1985 to create wines that showcase the region’s distinct terroirs. Situated in the town of Viana overlooking the Rioja Valley in Rioja Oriental, Bodegas Ondarre is the only winery in the village of Viana. They have formed trusted relationships with the highest quality growers in the area, with whom they have been working since their inception. The Reservas are Bodegas Ondarre’s most acclaimed wines, winning annual top awards and critical approval. They attribute their success to hard work in the vineyards and their continual investment in the winery and barrel stock. They use French and American oak casks to help them obtain the character in their wines. They also produce a few thousand cases of a single varietal, Graciano - a real rarity due to the low-yielding nature of this variety. |
