RESERVA
Founded in 1896, Federico Paternina established this winery on a site with cellars excavated in the 16th century in Ollauri Rioja Alta.
Its origins date back to Eduardo de Paternina, father of Federico and Marqués de Terán, one of the pioneers of modern viticulture in Rioja at the request of his close friend the Baron de Rothschild, who years before had acquired the Château Brane Mouton.
Elaboration
Yellowish-brown soils with little water retention which, together with low rainfall, produces low yields and grapes concentrated in high-quality aromas and colors.
After careful fermentation at temperatures no higher than 28°C, the wine is aged in oak barrels and then bottled for a combined total of 36 months before release.
Food match
Pairs well with pomegranate, barbecue, rib eye steak, or chocolate cake.
Tasting
Notes
Brilliant red with terracotta highlights.
Very elegant on the nose, given its fine aging bouquet and hints of vanilla.
Good structure and a lot of body. Complex and balanced.
