Don Jacobo – Gran Reserva Rioja 2010 🇪🇸

12th-Century Pilgrimage Vibes. 21st-Century Rioja Royalty.

This isn’t wine — it’s a walking history lesson in a bottle.
The 2010 Don Jacobo Gran Reserva is a masterclass in old-school Rioja elegance from Bodegas Corral, a winery with roots planted right on the fabled Camino de Santiago. Aged for 6 years (3 in American oak, 3 in bottle), this blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo doesn’t just sip smooth — it tells stories.

“Deep fruit. Earthy oak. Long aging. Classic Rioja — done right.”

🍷 Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep garnet with ruby edges — dignified, not dusty.

• Nose: Mature blackberries, pepper, dried figs, and elegant hints of coffee and cocoa from that long, slow oak soak.

• Palate: Full-bodied, silky, and balanced. Think: dark fruit, cloves, tobacco, with mellow acidity and spice woven in like a cashmere throw.

• Finish: Long. Lingering. Layered. Like the memory of a perfect conversation.

🛤️ The Story Behind the Sip

Bodegas Corral has been doing this since 1898, and their vines grow alongside the Camino de Santiago — one of the most legendary pilgrimage routes on Earth. You can literally see 12th-century pilgrim hospital ruins from the vineyard. That spirit of heritage, travel, and storytelling is baked into every bottle of Don Jacobo Gran Reserva.

This 2010 vintage is crafted from 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, and 5% Mazuelo, and it’s aged for a total of 6 years. No shortcuts, no rushing — just traditional Rioja winemaking at its most patient and poetic.

🍽️ Perfect Pairings

• 🥩 Red Meat: Roast lamb, ribeye, or dry-aged anything — this wine craves richness.

• 🧀 Cheese: Manchego viejo, Idiazábal, or any nutty, aged Spanish wedge.

• 🎶 Mood: A rainy evening, an old vinyl record, and no emails.
