The Story Behind the Bottle
Gran Reserva 904 is in a league of its own. It’s from the team at La Rioja Alta, trailblazers of traditional Rioja since 1890.
Everything here gets kid-glove treatment, from the cherished vines in the estate’s own vineyards to the cutting edge winemaking equipment in the modern cellars. However, many of the old ways are still the best and the estate continues to use its century-old cooperage to make the cellar’s barrels.
After hand picking and hand sorting, grapes are pressed, fermented and aged in seasoned oak for over four years. The wine is racked into new barrels every six months to gently remove sediment, prior to bottling in May 2021. Only released in 2024 so tannins have time to soften, it'll be superb any time over the next 20 years.
James Suckling summed it up perfectly: "A hedonistic Rioja that delivers sheer pleasure”, 97 points, while Wine Advocate called it "spectacular".
