Tasting Notes
Cherry red with good depth of colour and some terracotta hue. Complex aromas of barrel ageing with spicy notes of vanilla. Well-structured with mature soft finish.
History
This modern winery, founded in 1977, is situated in Manzanares in the heart of La Mancha. It was the first bodega in the region to be built entirely using stainless steel and computer controlled technology. Since then it has continued to develop and now has a vast barrel ageing cellar, modern quality controls and internationally recognised certification.
Regional Information
La Mancha is an elevated plateau in central Spain, renowned for its hot climate. Previously under the radar, it is now making rapid advances with the use of modern winemaking techniques whilst keeping true to its traditional roots. This is a very exciting region to keep an eye on, as it produces particularly rich and flavoursome wines.
Current Vintage

Vinification Details
Castillo de Calatrava Gran Reserva comes from old vine Tempranillo grown in the better high-altitude vineyard sites around the town of the same name. This wine has been matured in oak barrels for at least two years before bottling and release. It offers fantastic value for money.

This wine is not worth the quoted price. inconsistent, thin and not a great taste for the price. Don't bother

Wrong vintage

I got a 2012 bottle rather than the award winning 2014 advertised. Disappointing vintage.

disappointing

For a 2012 Rioja Reserve retailing at £13 I expect a pretty decent wine. What this has resulted in was a thin wine that needed close to four hours to breathe, to only marginally improve. There are much better Riojas for less.

wrong vintage

This wine is being advertised as 2006 but Ocado delivers 2012 vintage instead. The difference is that the 2006 is an award winning outstanding wine whereas the 2012 is an average wine. Ocado should not be doing false advertising.

Too young

This wine was not up to any standard. Too young, didnt feel like it was aged in barrel over 20 minutes, let alone be a reserva or more. Too fruity, no character and generally could have done with a bit of depth in character. It was a let down for me. If you are after a characterful wine with a bit of depth, this isnt the one.
