Reserva

Viña Salceda Reserva comes from Elciego in Rioja Alavesa, a sub region renowned for its elegant and refined wines. This Reserva is a classic Rioja with a timeless character: intense, complex and harmonious, with the finesse that comes from both the altitude of the vineyards and the long ageing in oak and bottle.

In the glass, the wine shows a medium cherry red colour. The nose is expressive and layered, offering aromas of cherries and fresh plums, subtly interwoven with spicy notes and a creamy background from the oak ageing. On the palate, it is intense and rounded, with polished tannins that combine softness and structure. The flavour is juicy and full, leading into a long, enveloping finish that highlights the wine’s complexity.

Vinification is guided by tasting criteria: after a maceration of about three weeks, the wine is transferred by gravity to the underground cellars. There, it ages for 18 months in French and American oak barriques, followed by 12 months of bottle ageing, ensuring refinement, stability and a perfectly integrated oak profile.

Serve at 16–18°C. Excellent with lamb, grilled red meats, stews, game, mature cheeses and rich Mediterranean dishes. Its elegant structure also makes it a perfect match for refined gastronomic cuisine.
