Usoa de Bagordi Rioja Gran Reserva 2008 SUSTAINABLE

Named after the Rio (river) Oja which runs through it, Rioja is known as the leading wine region in Spain.  The area produces the country’s most distinguished and sought-after wines, especially the aged reds. The Usoa de Bagordi Gran Reserva spent 2 years aging in French oak and an additional 3 years aging in bottle before release. The result is a beautifully full and robust wine with easy tannins, and a lovely blend of forest berries, a touch of leather and a hint of chocolate. Try it with beef tenderloin, lamb chops or a hearty stew!
