He trained at Château Haut-Brion and is today head winemaker at trophy-winning Château La Clarière. In 2006, he wanted to start a project of his own and with Spanish heritage, chose Rioja. He wished to make Grand Cru style wines, so he selected a site for his winery up in the clouds and ancient vineyards that were equally high. This is, however, his first Gran Reserva. Again he wanted to make it more like a fine claret, so he selected grapes from ancient vines, carefully fermented it, used French oak barriques for ageing and kept the barrels topped up to the brim to lend a fresher style. Spiced raspberry and plum with a wrap of creamy oak and spice, it’s fine, rich and elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43228614852719,"sku":"4538018","price":409.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9588\/9263\/files\/4538018.jpg?v=1757319422","url":"https:\/\/www.directwines.com.hk\/products\/altos-r-gran-reserva-rioja-2018","provider":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
