In a few words ...

In an exceptional cru produced only in great vintages, Honorable 2016 from Bodega Gómez Cruzado is made from a selection of old vines planted on clay-limestone soils. It's a blend dominated by La Rioja's emblematic grape variety, Tempranillo, complemented by Grenache, Graciano, Mazuelo and Viura. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.
