Winemaker Notes
Mature low-yielding estate vineyards yield a concentrated wine, aged 18 months in American oak. Bouquet of ripe red fruit is well integrated with toasty/balsamic notes, rich texture from a great vintage offering plenty of stuffing for the cellar, while elegant Rioja acidity keeps it fresh.
Blend: 90% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano

Wine & Spirits
Long on red fruit, this wine's texture has some tannic grit that makes the fruit feel firm and complex. The tannins are gentle carrying some funky earthiness, somewhere between black tea and chocolate, but the wine is neither thick nor sweet. It's a mellow, fruit-driven Rioja to serve with any roast meats.
In 2013 Bodegas Breton and the Lorinon brand were acquired by the Montaña family and its winemaking entity, Union de Viticultores Riojanos. UVR comprises over 350 hectares of mature to ancient vines that are either owned or under continuous contract throughout the Rioja Alta and Alavesa regions. Lorinon Crianza is almost entirely composed of old-vine Tempranillo, aged 14 months in a mixture of used American and French oak. The Reserva includes a higher percentage of the rare Graciano and utilizes a higher percentage of French oak, and is aged an additional year in bottle before release.
