Red wine with Denominación de Origen Calificada Rioja, made from Tempranillo (85%), Graciano (10%) and Garnacha (5%) grapes from from 45 year old vines. Bodegas Vinícola Real, was founded by Miguel Ángel Rodríguez in 1989 in Albelda de Iregua, La Rioja.

Grapes are harvested by hand in 15 kg tubs, carefully selected, destemmed and delicately crushed in rubber rollers. Then they are fermented for 11 days in Allier oak vats at a controlled temperature of 24º to 28º C and left in contact with the skins for further 25 days, in order to extract the right amount of tannins. Aging takes place for 20 months in new American and French oak barrels.
