Olarra Gran Reserva 2015 is a dry, full-bodied Rioja red wine blend of 80% Tempranillo with 10% Mazuelo and 5% each Garnacha and Graciano mainly sourced from the Rioja Alta. Intense with spicy dark fruit, cassis, mulberry, mocha and well-integrated oak spice flavours with velvety tannins, the wine is drinking beautifully now. This vintage was awarded the Rioja Gran Reserva Trophy winner at the 2022 International Wine Challenge.

Food pairings: roast pork, leg of lamb, hard cheeses.
