Bodegas Manzanos – Gran Reserva Rioja 2015 🇪🇸

130 Years of Bold Tradition, Bottled with Swagger

This isn’t just a Gran Reserva — it’s a masterclass in Rioja done right.
The 2015 Gran Reserva from Bodegas Manzanos is deep, structured, and unapologetically luxurious. With 36 months in oak and another 24 in bottle, it’s Tempranillo taken to the next level — lifted by Garnacha, anchored by Mazuelo, and polished to perfection.

🏅 94 Points – Wine Enthusiast

“Bold fruit, refined tannins, and elegance for days. A benchmark for classic Rioja.”

🍷 Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep garnet with a kiss of brick-red age.

• Nose: Black cherry, dried plum, blackberry. Followed by cedar, vanilla, balsamic, and a whisper of tobacco.

• Palate: Full-bodied, layered, and luxurious. Think ripe dark fruit, dried herbs, clove, and a silk-robed tannin structure.

• Finish: Long, balanced, and complex — leather, spice, and elegance that doesn’t fade.

🏰 The Legacy of Manzanos

Founded in 1890, Bodegas Manzanos is one of Rioja’s crown jewels. Located in the prestigious Rioja DOCa, this Gran Reserva is born from low-yield vines on clay-limestone slopes in Azagra and Aldeanueva de Ebro. The result? Depth, tension, minerality — and the kind of balance only 130 years of winemaking can deliver.

The blend is 50% Tempranillo, 30% Garnacha, 20% Mazuelo, aged for 3 years in French & American oak, then rested another 2 years in bottle before you even see it. The patience shows.
