Good news from Spain: the enchanting complexity of fully aged Rioja is returning to FromVineyardsDirect via Bodegas Urbina's Rioja Gran Reserva 2004 and their Reserva Especial 2006. You've loved them before, now's your chance to do so again.

It's love of Rioja as it should be. Because the dedicated drinker understands how crucial it is that such high-quality cuvées undergo lengthy, undisturbed cellaring to reach their full potential. A minimum of a decade, preferably closer to two. Long, patient years for developing the exquisite aromas and complex flavours that solidify your drinking loyalty.

But who's got the time - or this patience - to wait so long? Instead, by taking advantage of our special pricing on these very especial bottles, you need not wait. Instead, you can now explicitly experience what Decanter magazine describe in their 2023 Rioja Guide as "wines with great ageing capacity." 

How does the wine taste? Customer Reviews (1)
Garnet-red colour; aromas of classic spicy mature Rioja but still with lots of fruit to draw upon. Intense, stewed autumn fruits on the palate combined with sweet spice. Crying out of roast leg of lamb...

I am not usually a Rioja drinker, finding it somewhat oaky but this I really enjoyed. It was smooth, silky and lingered pleasantly on the palate. As you can gather, I am not a professional, lacking the finesse of the experts but I loved this as did two of my children and, to my surprise, my other half.

"A perfumed wine with vegetal maturity. This has evolved very well into a round, plump, fleshy gran reserva with a sweet fruity finish. Drink 2023-2048."
95 pts, PM, decanter.com Rioja Guide 2023
"Open, very clean and precise, with indications of ageing. Juicy, appetising, soft and serious at the same time, with a long, distinctive finish. Still far from its peak."
95 pts, Pedro Ballesteros Torres, decanter.com Rioja Guide 2023
"The Urbina family’s appealingly traditional Riojas age brilliantly thanks to the acidity that comes with growing Tempranillo in the cool, limestone-dominated Cuzcurrita zone. This isn’t a blockbuster wine, but it’s remarkably complex, savoury and scented with notes of wild strawberries, forest floor and pouch tobacco, filigree tannins and haunting balsamic sweetness."
