Bujanda Gran Reserva
Wine Description
Viña Bujanda Gran Reserva, made of 100% Tempranillo, comes from Rioja Alta and Alavesa areas. Grapes are grown in clay and harvested during the first week of October. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel tanks for 12 days and aged in oak for 26 months before it is ready to enjoy. The resulting wine shows intense complexity and great aging potential.
