Lopez de Heredia Bosconia Reserva 2014

Grape: Tempranillo (with Garnacha, Mazuelo, Graciano)
Country: Spain
Region: Rioja
Farming: Organic

Bosconia comes from the family’s “El Bosque” vineyard, a slightly cooler, north-facing site that gives wines with freshness and lift. The 2014 Reserva is classic López de Heredia: long-aged in old oak, bottled without fuss, and released only when the family feels it’s ready.

It opens with savory aromas of leather, dried cherry, cedar, and forest floor, alongside subtle spice and balsamic notes. On the palate, it’s graceful and balanced, with gentle red fruit, fine tannins, and that signature López de Heredia elegance — complex without ever shouting.

A beautiful, traditional Rioja that shows why Bosconia is often described as the estate’s most “Burgundian” wine, pairing depth with remarkable finesse.
