Rioja Alta 890 Gran Reserva 'Selección Especial' is one of Spain’s greatest wines. It is Rioja Alta’s top cuvée, named in honour of the year the winery was founded (1890), and is only made in the very best vintages.
The 2005 Gran Reserva 890 is only the third wine ever to be labelled as 'Selección Especial', making it a truly exceptional release. Receiving a double 98-point score from James Suckling and Tim Atkin, the superlative 2005 vintage has been compared with the legendary 1964, perhaps the all-time greatest vintage in Rioja.
Placed 4th in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines, it was aged six years in American oak barrels (made at the winery’s own cooperage) and racked by hand under candlelight 10 times along the way. It was bottled in 2012 and released six years later, the 2005 is a textbook example of Rioja’s traditional style and an affirmation of an approach to great wine that requires a significant investment of time and labour.
