From the producers “The history of Bodegas Ondarre starts in the namesake family manor around 1450, and over the generations, Ondarre’s has been a history of their land, of their people and of their values. A several centuries-long history that deserves to be evoked is this Reserva wine, made from carefully selected grapes grown in small vineyards scattered across a terrain of steep slopes and ravines. A deeply coloured, fragrant and full-bodied wine which is aged for 16 months in new barrels, and whose complexity develops over time.”

Bodegas Ondarre was founded in 1985, with the aim of creating wines which 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, which win top awards and critical approval every year. They attribute their success to hard work in the vineyards and their continual investment in the winery and barrel stock. They use both French and American oak casks to help them obtain the character in their wines.

Leather, vanilla and spice of traditionally made Rioja enveloped in a smooth and textured palate. Balanced, with ripe, wild strawberries and integrated tannins through to a long, lingering finish.
