This is like a more intense version of the Selección Personal, with the imprint of the 2016 vintage, floral aromas, a clean nose with complexity and elegance, showing very young but nuanced. They are forced to select looser bunches to be able to de stem the grapes by hand, and the grapes are more perfect, less compact and perhaps with a higher ratio of skin to juice. This explains the intensity of the Grano a Grano wines. The palate is balanced, with very good freshness and refined tannins.
The 2011 Tempranillo Grano a Grano is selected from the oldest plots. The bunches are hand-destemmed, and the grapes fermented in 1,200-kilo inox vats then transferred to new barrels for malolactic and 18 months aging. Having had that treatment, the nose has plenty of wild berries and some violets, and the smoky/spicy notes are still abundant but do not dominate the nose. The palate is however, quite marked by the élevage and will require time to absorb the oak. This is a modern, well-oaked Tempranillo for fans of the style, with good concentration and power, but perhaps the élevage erases the mark of the place. It should be better with time in bottle as the wood receded after a few days of being opened.

La Rioja er uden tvivl Spaniens mest prestigefyldte vinregion, internationalt kendt for sine vine af høj kvalitet, især de raffinerede rødvine. Regionen ligger i det nordlige Spanien og nyder godt af et varieret klima, der spænder fra det køligere og vådere Atlanterhav i vest til det varmere og tørrere Middelhav i øst, hvor Ebro-floden spiller en afgørende rolle i at moderere klimaet. De Cantabriske Bjerge udgør også en barriere mod barske vejrforhold fra nord.

Regionen er bedst kendt for sine robuste, egetræslagrede rødvine, der primært fremstilles af Tempranillo-druen, som er rygraden i La Riojas vinproduktion. Andre druer som Garnacha (Grenache), Graciano og Mazuelo (Carignan) spiller også biroller i blandingerne. Rioja-vine klassificeres i flere kategorier baseret på deres modningsproces: Rioja (den yngste), Crianza, Reserva og Gran Reserva, hvor de to sidstnævnte kræver flere års lagring på egetræsfade og flasker, før de frigives.

La Rioja er inddelt i tre underregioner: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa og Rioja Oriental (tidligere kendt som Rioja Baja). Hvert område tilfører vinene sine unikke karakteristika. Rioja Alta er kendt for sine vine i gammeldags stil med en balance mellem struktur og syre; Rioja Alavesa producerer vine med en fyldig og aromatisk profil på grund af sin kalkstensrige jordbund; Rioja Oriental, der er varmere, giver typisk vine, der er rigere og mere intenst farvede.

Regionens engagement i kvalitet og tradition kombineret med innovationer inden for vinfremstillingsteknikker sikrer, at La Rioja fortsat producerer vine, der værdsættes globalt for deres dybde, kompleksitet og lange holdbarhed. De maleriske landskaber med vindækkede bakker og historiske bodegaer (vinkældre) gør også La Rioja til en populær destination for vinturisme.
