Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2015 Viña Arana Gran Reserva, which was a Reserva until 2011, wants to showcase a new Gran Reserva style that combines freshness and joy with intensity, sophistication and aging potential through a blend of Tempranillo from Rodezno with 5% Graciano from Fuenmayor. The grapes were put through optical sorting and fermented in stainless steel for 19 days, and the wine matured in American oak barrels for three years with rackings every six months. This is the classical Haro style of Rioja Claret. They found that some special vintages of this wine behaved like a Gran Reserva, with a style that was closer to their 904. So, they wanted to make this consistent from vintage to vintage, a new a style of Gran Reserva, easier to understand than the 904 or 890. From 2012, the wine changes and they replaced the Mazuelo that was used in the past with Graciano, which they think is a grape very apt for Gran Reserva wines. I saw the wine with the 2015 vintage, a more developed nose with tertiary notes and some funkiness. They don’t want this to be the small brother of 904. It’s the entry level for Gran Reserva wines, for a younger generation; it’s fresher and less complex but with good aging potential. In a year when they don’t produce 904, the grapes would go to Viña Arana. The palate reveals quite a lot of tannin and a dry finish. 80,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2019.

Description
Viña Arana Gran Reserva, is produced by the Bodega La Rioja Alta in the D.O.Ca. La Rioja. It is a classic red wine of good style created with Tempranillo grapes, with a minimum contribution of Graciano, from the estates Las Cuevas, El Palo and Las Monjas, in Rodezno, and the Montecillo estate in Fuenmayor. All of these are vineyards, with an average age of 40 years, planted on limestone soils.
Winemaking
The harvest begins with the Tempranillo grapes and later the Graciano is harvested. The grapes are transported refrigerated in small boxes to maintain their integrity.
As for the elaboration, it is carried out by means of an alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature for 11 days and meanwhile the malolactic fermentation is done for 44 days.
The wine is aged for 3 years in American oak barrels and every 6 months it is racked, using the traditional method, from barrel to barrel. Finally, both varieties are blended to achieve the balance that characterizes this wine.
Taste
Viña Arana Gran Reserva stands out for its classic texture. Fresh and vibrant, balanced, with gentle and sweet tannins and an elegant and complex finish.
A prestigious wine with long aging
It is a classic style rioja , but adapted to the new trends that are in search of wines with greater fruit expression, much more vibrant and fresh.
It is an ideal wine to accompany all kinds of meats and stews, spicy fish, desserts with chocolate or red fruit topping, as well as being perfect as an after-dinner glass.
