Full of finesse and aromatic complexity, it runs on to a finish that seems never to end. — 90% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Rioja Alta was founded in 1890 in the old railway quarter of Haro by five families, and in 2022 Drinks International named it the world's fourth most admired wine brand. The Tempranillo for the 904 comes from Villalba, Briñas and Rodezno in Rioja Alta, with a little Graciano from the Montecillo vineyard at Fuenmayor for backbone; the vines are farmed sustainably, with limited treatments, reused water and insect shelters to build biodiversity. Winemaker Julio Sáenz sorts the hand-picked grapes on optical tables and ferments with indigenous yeasts, then the wine spends four years in American oak barrels made by the house's own coopers, racked by hand and candlelight every six months, before four more years in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood with poultry and pork, red meat and cheese.
