Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

There is a new white, a Viura aged in barrel for a long time, the 2014 Iraun Gran Reserva. He kept a barrel from the regular Iraun from that year that he has kept topping up with younger wines. This has a majority of Viura and also some other white grapes that are found in the vineyard, Calagraño and vines of Maturana Blanca that he has planted. This wine has a very complex nose, and it's perfumed, tasty, with citrus freshness and a very round palate with vibrant acidity and chalky minerality. He likes the old-style whites from Rioja. This was bottled in April 2022 after almost eight years in barrel. For you to have an idea, this is more in the style of a Murrieta than a Tondonia. There were 666 bottles from one large barrel.

Features

Description

Iraun Gran Reserva is a crianza white wine made from Viura and Malvasia grapes by Oxer Bastegieta under the denomination of La Rioja. The grapes come from own vineyards over 75 years old in La Guardia, La Rioja.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand selecting the best grapes from the best and oldest vines on the property. In the winery, alcoholic fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks, using only indigenous yeasts.
The ageing is transferred to used 500L French oak barrels where it ages for 12 months. It is an unfiltered and unclarified wine; not certified organic.

Taste

Iraun Gran Reserva is a very complex white wine with a concentration of fruity aromas. In the mouth it has a very vibrant acidity and a chalky minerality. At the same time it is very fresh, with herbaceous notes.

A magnificent, creamy and structured wine.

Iraun Gran Reserva is a wine made with minimal intervention; it is a true old-fashioned Rioja.
Iraun Gran Reserva originates from the idea of creating a viura aged in oak, which can be defined by its freshness and subtlety. A white wine from La Rioja that is the pure expression of the terroir from which it originates.

Iraun is the winemaker Oxer's tribute to his people and their language, Basque. The name means "to endure". It must be considered that, despite all the obstacles and challenges, the Basque people, with perseverance, have kept alive the oldest language in the world.
In its production, the winery applies techniques based on respectful agriculture, where the use of pesticides and chemicals has been avoided.
In the gastronomic field, it is a wine especially recommended for gifts and as an accompaniment to rice dishes and white meats.
