Tasting Note:

It is the perfect accompaniment to game dishes, boeuf bourguignon or hard cheeses.

After careful Fementation at a controlled temperature of never more than 28C, this wine is kept in vats for 12 months to ensure complete stabilization.

History and Regional Information:
Lagunilla is one of the oldest and finest names in Rioja. Don Felipe Lagunilla San Martin founded this famous Bodega in 1885. The quality of the Lagunilla wines and many others owe much to his pioneering work in defeating Phylloxera which hit the region in the 1870's. It was he who recommended the use and introduction of American rootstocks to the Rioja vineyards. His achievement was rewarded by a commendation of The Order of Merit, granted by King Alfonso XIII in 1908.
Known for its consistent quality and range of wines both traditional and modern, Lagunilla is at the forefront of modern winemaking technology whilst at the same time mindful of the tradition and history that has made Rioja one of the classic wine regions of the world.
