Akutain, Rioja Reserva 2015

Tempranillo, Garnacha. Akutain has been producing old school, traditional Rioja, from their 4 vineyards in Rioja Alta, since the 1970s. The Akutain Reserva is comprised of mostly Tempranillo with Garnacha. It was fermented with native yeasts in fiberglass vats, and raised in older American oak for 2 years and 10 months, with additional year in the bottle before release. A throwback to Rioja's past.
