Nucerro Rioja Reserve 2018
Top Rioja Value.
Founded in 1973 on the outskirts of Logrono, Olarra is known locally as the ‘Cathedral of Rioja’ owing to the beauty and grandeur of its distinctive Y-shaped winery. Here, cutting-edge technologies merge with Rioja’s traditional winemaking methods, while the winery’s ageing hall houses an impressive 26,000 oak barrels. The wines of Bodegas Olarra are produced by Javier Salinas. While I have known this man’s ability since I met him back in 2010, he was recently awarded “red winemaker of the year” @ the Decanter International Wine Challenge in 2021. Javier had a clean sweep of the Rioja trophies. The Rioja trophy and Rioja Gran Reserva trophy went to Olarra’s Clásico Gran Reserva 2015, and the Rioja Reserva trophy went to Bodegas Ondarre’s Mayor De Ondarre Reserva 2016.
Winemaker's Tasting Notes: After spending 20 months in the cask, this Reserva wine is now at its peak for tasting, promising an excellent future evolution over the next few years. Cherry red with ruby highlights. Complex, fine aromas. Round and well balanced on the palate, as a result of its long period in the bottle
