Description / Reviews
"
Viña Bosconia wines come from our vineyard called El Bosque. Originally, our great-grandfather, the founder, with his French influence, gave the wines names inspired by French wines. Viña Bosconia comes from a Burgundy-style wine that he used to make with a high percentage of Pinot Noir, and which he called “Rioja Cepa Borgoña”.
The El Bosque vineyard is situated next to the river Ebro at an altitude of 465m and it is one kilometre away from our winery. Vines are planted on the south-facing foothills of the Sierra Cantabria range, providing them with the perfect conditions for ripening. The soil is a mixture of clay and limestone, and the average age of the vines is 40 years. El Bosque consists of 15 ha, 11 of which are Tempranillo, 2 ha of red Garnacho , 1 ha of Mazuelo and 1 ha of Graciano." - Lopez de Heredia, Producer
"Sourced from the Bosconia Vineyard in Rioja Alta, the 2011 Reserva Viña Bosconia is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano. This garnet red wine presents aromas of sour cherry, cola, cedar and licorice, along with subtle hints of fresh herbs and dried flowers. Dry and medium-bodied, this nimble and silky red vibrates with a chalky, taut flow, compacted by reactive tannins. The 2011 is a textured, long-lasting wine, its years in bottle bestowing enticing, subtle complexity to this remarkable vintage." - 94 Points, Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous
