From a renowned estate, a veritable Rioja institution, Luis Cañas Reserva 2017 offers an intensely fruity tasting experience, with structure and tannic structure divided between power and elegance. The majority of Tempranillo in the blend gives it a velvety texture on the palate, and a depth typical of this Iberian grape variety. Discover its aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant, complexified by flavors of chocolate and black pepper.
