La Carbonera
Altos Ibéricos Reserva, DOCa Rioja
Altos Ibéricos Reserva is an exemplary expression of Rioja crafted in an elegant and refined style. This high-quality wine displays remarkable personality, allowing the essence of Tempranillo to shine through in all its beauty. Named after Alto Otero, a beautiful local enclave, Altos Ibéricos is also inspired by one of the region’s most iconic species: the Iberian ibex or wild goat.
Sourced from a handful of partner growers, predominantly from Rioja Alavesa, the cooler of Rioja’s subregions. The vines are 60-80 years old on average and some of the oldest in Rioja, providing low yields of concentrated fruit.

Altos Ibéricos Reserva is a deep ruby red color with rich pigment. Intense aromas of red forest fruits like raspberry, and cherry jam mingle with licorice and toasted notes. Velvety on the palate, featuring exquisitely fine-grained, smooth tannins that have matured beautifully in both oak and bottle.

"Savory plums, roasted spices and a touch of minerals and walnut husk. This shows good initial evolution, the fruit still fresh and primary. Juicy and medium-bodied on the palate with smooth tannins and a medium-long finish. Drink now."

"Sweet cherries, ripe berry and bramble, and a light pour of spiced, sweet cream spin through silken tannins into a mouthwatering finish. Polished while also juicy."
