Abtole Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2018 is a rich, full-bodied Rioja from Bodegas Marques de Reinosa in the Autol area. This wine boasts intense aromas of heady black raspberry, liquorice, and dark cherry, complemented by prominent vanillin oak, earthy mocha, and warm spice notes from 24 months of aging in French and American oak barrels. The palate is generous with rich black raspberry, toasty oak, mocha, and spice flavors, supported by ripe polished tannins and a plush, sturdy texture. Its long, opulent finish has a slightly chewy elegance, showcasing classic Rioja complexity and depth.

It pairs beautifully with slow-cooked dishes, roasted meats, and flavorful cheeses, making it ideal for leisurely meals that bring out the wine’s sophisticated character. This 2018 Abtole Reserva is a fine example of a traditional yet modern Rioja Reserva.
