DECENIO RIOJA RESERVA 2010
BODEGAS LAS ORCAS
Deep, velvety Rioja Reserva, showing classic notes of dark fruits and toasty vanilla oak character, at a very affordable price.
- A palate of black fruits, tobacco and leather; wonderfully balanced and super-smooth.
- Tucked between mountains and the River Ebro, las Orcas’ vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate.
- Wines are aged for 24 months in American oak barrels and then a further 16 months in bottle before release.
- Ready to drink now; could age to develop complexity.
- Delicious with meatballs in a tomato sauce, or a vegetable curry.

Staff favourite
“A new vintage of an old Roberson favourite and I, for one, am delighted to see this back on our list as it is a perfect wine for Christmas. Bodegas Las Orcas, based in Rioja Alavesa, always produce fantastic value, classically styled Rioja and this Reserva offers a great balance of bright, fresh fruit flavours and some structure and complexity from the oak aging. With five years age this is perfect for drinking now and is incredibly versatile pairing well with a host of seasonal favourites or for enjoying by itself.”
