Coleccion 125 Reserva

Colección 125 Reserva is an elegant, terroir driven Tempranillo from the Legardeta Estate in Navarra, grown on the northern edge where Tempranillo still reaches ideal ripeness. Mid altitude vineyards and poor, well drained soils ensure controlled yields and concentrated, characterful grapes; the result is a ripe, fresh and long living Reserva that clearly expresses place and climate.

In the glass the Reserva shows a deep ruby colour. The nose opens with black fruit, blackberry, ripe plum and cherry, paired with subtle balsamic notes, liquorice and a hint of pepper. On the palate it is mouthfilling and muscular, delivering concentrated fruit, refined spice and smooth ripe tannins that lead to a long, elegant finish.

Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel with gentle remontage for fine extraction. After malolactic conversion the wine ages 15–18 months in French oak casks, then continues to integrate in bottle; this élevage provides structure and complexity without overpowering the fruit.

Serve the Reserva at 16–18 °C with grilled red meat, herb scented stews or mature hard cheeses. It is a wine for those who value depth and finesse, immediately appealing yet well suited to several years of cellaring.
