About
Viña Bosconia is a Tempranillo-based blend from the El Bosque vineyard. Don Rafael used to make Rioja Cepa Borgoña - a Burgundy-style wine based on Pinot Noir. The El Bosque vineyard is situated next to the river Ebro at an altitude of 465 m. It consists of 15 ha: 11 of which are Tempranillo, 2 ha of Garnacha, 1 ha of Mazuelo and 1 ha of Graciano.
Viña Bosconia Reserva 2011 was fermented in large 144-year-old oak vats and matured in used American oak barrels (225L) for five years. It was bottled in May 2018. It is unfiltered but fined with fresh egg whites. In total, 88,000 bottles were produced.
