Don Sancho de Londoño, Real de a 8 Rioja Reserva 2017 Palomino built around a muscular frameThe Rioja styles of red wine complement all kinds of occasions and dishes, and this fully mature reserva layers fine Tempranillo and Garnacha fruit with tobacco and leather flavours from ageing in French and American oak barrels. The blend of grapes comes from the Don Sancho de Londoo family winery, which was established in 2004 as the realization of a dream and named after a local military hero of the sixteenth century.
