Luis Cañas - Rioja Reserva 2018 (750ml) Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Luis Cañas - Rioja Reserva 2018 (750ml) Saint-Emilion Grand CruThe "family reserve" from one of Rioja Alavesa's most enduring family run wineries. Wines destined to be the Reserva de la Familia label are made from a selection of grapes from old vines, those which combine a series of characteristics such as good orientation and exposure to the sun, and a poor soil which ensures low yields. This wine is one of very few Rioja wines to blend Cabernet Sauvignon with Tempranillo. Bodegas Luis Caas was granted
