RESERVA ESPECIAL
The estate’s passion for unique wines continues with Reserva Especial, which has no vintage. Each release, in their distinctive opaque bottles, is a blend of three harmonious vintages. This wine reflects the specific terrior of the Ribera del Duero and also highlights the blending skill of the winemaker. Jesús Anadón (1956-1966) Mariano Garcia (1966-1996), Xavier Ausàs (1996-2015) and Gonzalo Iturriaga (2015-2022) have all been responsible for releases of Reserva Especial. They have tasted through barrels of vintage wine, noted characteristics and then married vintages into a beautiful blend. The finished wine then sees 18 months of new oak and 30 months more in old oak. Finding out which vintages are in each bottle has historically been difficult, which adds intrigue for serious collectors. The 2011 release, which represents the 91-94-98 vintages is a famous, long-lived wine.
