Grapes for this elegant red come from selected parcels of the finest Syrah planted on Boekenhoutskloof`s Swartland farms, namely Porseleinberg and Goldmine. Dark fruit dominates an intense, brooding nose with its black currant, black olive, tar and graphite aromas. Luscious, sweet red and dark berries follow through onto an exceptionally complex palate with rich flavours of ripe plums, black cardamom and hints of ground pepper and sweet tobacco.

Producer Information

Bodegas Riojanas is a major wine producer and wine group based in the Rioja town of Cenicero but encompassing several wineries, numerous Spanish wine regions and producing nearly 70 wines across 20 brands. It is probably best-known for its Via Albina and Monte Real Rioja brands.The winery was established in 1890 by the Artacho family in Cenicero, on the banks of the Ebro river, 20km (12 miles) due west of the regional capital Logroo, in the Rioja Alta. Brands such as Monte Real and Artacho are established in the early 20th Century, the former by French winemaker Gabriel Larrendat who worked at the winery for several years until returning to France in 1933.The winery continued production through the era of Francisco Franco’s dictatorship (which ends in 1975) and by the 1980s, investment in production and storage at the winery is increased. The company is partially listed on the stock exchange in 1997.
