Description:

Five Riojan and Basque families founded the "Sociedad Vinícola de La Rioja Alta" in Haro's Station District. Our first president was a woman: Doña Saturnina García Cid y Gárate. Monsieur Vigier, a Frenchman, was the House's first winemaker and the Reserva 1890 (predecessor of today's Gran Reserva 890) is the first wine he made.

Finca Martelo comes from the vineyard of the same name with a natural diversity of varieties: 95% Tempranillo and 5% Mazuelo, Garnacha and some Viura. The vineyard
is over 60 years old and is situated at 630 metres elevation, with north-south exposure to the sun and wind, resulting in balanced ripening and excellent vegetative development.

Tasting Note:
Intense ruby colour, with a bright, clean pink rim. Powerful fruit on the nose with an initial surge of wild strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, opening up to delicate spicy, peppery notes, cedar wood, liquorice and pastry. The palate is vibrant and elegant, expressing the terroir with freshness and intensity. Pleasant and long with a fleshy finish and hints of red fruit and spices
