La Vicalanda Gran Reserva 2015 75cl.
The name La Vicalanda originally comes from a small 10.5 hectare farm owned by Bodegas Bilbaínas. La Vicalanda Gran Reserva, this red wine, pioneer of “High Expression” wines, is made from a selection of the best grapes from our own vineyards. Maximum expression of the “terroir” of one of the most privileged areas of the D.O.Ca. Rioja, Haro. La Vicalanda is the ideal companion for the best meat dishes, especially the local specialty: roast lamb. It is also, without a doubt, a good ally of cured or Parmesan cheeses, ham, game and venison, legume dishes or meat rice dishes. Prizes and scores:
