Bodegas Altanza Artistas Españoles Velázquez Rioja Reserva 2011 (3 pack Wood Case)

*Special Order — Available in 2–5 Business Days*

A remarkable expression of aged Rioja, the Bodegas Altanza Artistas Españoles Velázquez Reserva 2011 combines the elegance of Spanish winemaking with a tribute to one of Spain's greatest painters, Diego Velázquez. Produced in limited quantities from 100% Tempranillo, this exceptional Rioja Reserva showcases the depth, complexity, and refinement of the outstanding 2011 vintage.

Sourced primarily from mature vineyards in Rioja Alta, with additional fruit from Rioja Alavesa, the wine spends 20 months in new French oak barrels, followed by three months in French oak vats. The result is a beautifully structured red offering layers of ripe black fruit, dark cherry, plum, cocoa, smoky oak, and earthy mineral notes. Fine tannins and a long, sophisticated finish reveal the character of a Rioja that has benefited from extended aging.

Part of Altanza's prestigious Artistas Españoles collection, this limited-edition bottling celebrates Velázquez and his masterpiece Las Meninas, bringing together fine wine and Spanish artistic heritage.
