2019 was a near-ideal vintage: a long, balanced growing season, low yields and outstanding sanitary conditions delivering small, concentrated clusters.
Fruit came from old bush-trained, dry-farmed plots in Villalba and Torremontalbo, hand-harvested and meticulously sorted for quality.
The Gran Reserva was aged 24 months in oak (80% French, 20% American) and further in bottle, achieving refinement, depth, power and the structure to evolve gracefully for decades.
“2019 was a warm and classical year of healthy grapes, and the 2019 Imperial Gran Reserva is a powerful version only produced in exceptional years. Produced with a blend of Tempranillo with 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, it fermented in oak vats with their own selected yeasts, and the wine matured for two years in new and used barriques, 80% of them French and the rest American.
It has a classical nose, with notes of dry leaves, truffle, cigar ash and dark spices and a touch of iodine and earth. It comes in at 14% alcohol, with a pH of 3.63 and 5.67 grams of acidity. It's harmonious and balanced, with elegant, polished and sleek tannins. 56,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022.” - Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, Feb 2025.
