Bodegas Covila
Rioja Gran Reserva 2017
Covila's Gran Reserva comes from its best Tempranillo, from vines averaging more than 30 years old on calcareous clay slopes at Laguardia and Lapuebla de Labarca. After a cold pre-maceration and a ten-day fermentation, it goes through malolactic in oak with regular lees stirring, then spends at least 24 months in American and French barrels and rests in the cellar until its fifth year. The producer describes a deep black-cherry wine with well-blended oak and fruit and a silky, elegant palate.

About the producer
Bodegas Covila
Bodegas Covila was founded in 1989 by a group of grape growers in Lapuebla de Labarca, in Rioja Alavesa. It farms about 250 hectares of its own vineyards, on sites from the Ebro riverbanks up to higher villages such as Laguardia and Samaniego, and makes around 1.5 million bottles a year, from young reds through Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva.
