Producer

Freixenet S.A

Matured for 12 months in oak, the 2014 Reserva has vanilla spice and nutmeg aromas in the foreground with dark fruits behind. It is a blend of Tempranillo with 30% Graciano – a variety that is notoriously difficult to grow but which produces interesting dark perfumed wines with high natural acidity. In the mouth, soft fruit flavours with raisins, figs and dried fruits emerge, creating a complex wine which remains lively due to its fresh acidity.
