The Rioja Reserva Bodegas Sonsierra 2017 is a standout Spanish red wine crafted from 100% Tempranillo grapes. Sourced from the prestigious Rioja Alta region, this vintage showcases the exceptional quality and heritage of one of Spain's most iconic wine areas.

Terroir and Vineyards

Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria mountains, the vines—aged 30 to 80 years—thrive in Rioja Alta’s unique climate. The combination of sunny days, cool nights, and nutrient-rich soil results in grapes of remarkable flavor and complexity.

Traditional Winemaking

The winemaking process is meticulous, from hand-harvesting at peak ripeness to fermentation in stainless steel tanks. A cold maceration ensures vibrant color and flavor extraction, while malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks enhances smoothness.

Aging 

Aged for 18 months in a blend of American and French oak barrels and then 1 year in he Adriatic Sea in Croatia, this Reserva develops elegant layers of vanilla, spice, and toasted oak, alongside refined tannins and a balanced structure.

Tasting Notes

This Rioja Reserva captivates with its garnet hue and ruby highlights. Aromas of ripe black fruit, licorice, toasted oak, and balsamic notes fill the nose, while the palate is rich and full-bodied with a silky texture and a lingering finish.

Perfect Food Pairings

Pair this wine with grilled meats, hearty stews, aged cheeses, roasted vegetables, or even dark chocolate desserts for an unforgettable culinary experience.
