- Full-bodied, ripe style with bright lively fruit flavours and well-knit tannins giving structure.
- Made by Marques de Murrieta, one of the most highly respected bodegas in Rioja Alta, established in 1852.
- This is a Rioja Reserva, meaning it must be aged for at least one year in oak and two in bottle before release.
- Lovely to drink from release but equally capable of ageing for many years.
- Serve with red meats or bellotta ham.

A lighter style Rioja with no oak ageing. ripe plums and orange blossom, the tannins are fine and there is a long fruit driven finish. The lack of oak means that the grape dominates the wine with a purity of fruit. Lanzaga is the second vineyard site of established Spanish winemakers Remelluri. The site cooler in temperature than most of Rioja and the rest is a fresher, light and more lively Rioja furthered by the distinct lack of oak ageing.

Bodegas Taron
- £30
Only made in the very best vintages Pantocractor Reserva Rioja has enjoyed ample barrel aging which has gone some way to temper and soften this powerful expression of northern Rioja in the 100% Tempranillo style. Still full-bodied Pantocrator is spicy with aromas of cherry and eucalyptus. On the palate, tannins are silky and a vibrant acidity gives wonderful structure and balance.
