The Story

Gran Reserva 890 is the most iconic and prestigious wine of La Rioja Alta, S.A. Its name pays tribute to the winery’s founding year: 1890. Produced only in exceptional vintages, this wine represents the pinnacle of elegance, complexity, and aging potential within the winery’s portfolio.

It is made primarily from Tempranillo, with small proportions of Graciano and Mazuelo, sourced from the oldest vineyards owned by the winery in the Rioja Alta region. The wine undergoes very long aging in American oak barrels handcrafted by the winery’s own cooperage, followed by extended bottle aging in the cellar before release.

Gran Reserva 890 is not made every year—it is reserved only for vintages that meet the highest standards of quality, which reinforces its unique character and exclusivity. It is a wine designed for long-term aging, capable of evolving beautifully over decades, and is considered a benchmark among classic Rioja Gran Reservas.
