Bodegas Benito Urbina, Gran Reserva Especial Rioja 2004 Fabio Motta

Bodegas Benito Urbina, Gran Reserva Especial Rioja 2004 Fabio MottaA fantastic example of mature Rioja from the vintage 2004. Definitely decant and expect complex aromas of soft leather, sweet spice and red fruit, a whiff of mushroom and dried tea leaf and a balsamic note with beautifully integrated fruit and oak on the palate, fresh acidity and a silky texture. Pair with slow cooked milk fed lamb cordero lechal the local favourite, or beef wellington.

pink peppercorns and rose petals

In the mouth it has some fatness yet has crisp acidity

acacia honey and green apples

Would work well with crab or pork

harmonizing the unique attributes of each variety into a complete wine

this lively red wine is based mainly on grapes found on Corsica - Sangiovese

resulting in fragrant dark cherry

with lots of juicy fruit

the 'Goustan' Blanc de Noirs is a savoury

As the name suggests

It is full-bodied with a long fruity finish
