✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Rioja region, Altos Ibericos Reserva is a tribute to the Iberian peninsula's rich winemaking heritage, crafted by the legendary Familia Torres. The name pays homage to the high-altitude vineyards of Rioja Alavesa where the Tempranillo grapes thrive in clay-limestone soils. Following the strict traditions of the Rioja Reserva classification, this wine undergoes a meticulous aging process of at least 36 months, spending a minimum of 12 months in oak casks followed by extended bottle aging. This slow maturation imparts a complex character defined by ripe forest fruits, wild berries, and elegant notes of toasted cocoa, spices, and vanilla, reflecting a seamless blend of modern precision and classic Spanish soul.
