Queirón Reserva Viñedos Familiares was A decade in the making. This Rioja showcases the very best Tempranillo and Graciano from Ontañón’s family vineyards, reflecting the estate’s heritage and the new winery in the centre of Quel. Meet the producer Situated in the Cidacos River Valley, between the Sierra Yerga and Sierra de la Hez mountains, the town of Quel provides the perfect terroir for high-altitude vineyards. Gabriel Pérez Cuevas and the Ontañón family have combined generations of experience with modern techniques to craft expressive, age-worthy Rioja. Production Tempranillo grapes from La Pasada vineyard (790m) and Graciano from El Pozo (650m) are hand-harvested. Maceration takes place for 5 days below 5ºC before fermentation. The wine then ages 24 months in new oak barrels (70% French, 30% American, extra-fine grain with varying toast) followed by 36 months in bottle in the estate’s underground cellar before release. Tasting notes Pronounced aromas of ripe black fruits, coffee, fig, brown spice, and toasty oak. The palate is rich and structured, offering berry compote, forest fruits, spice, oak, and balsamic notes. Fine tannins and juicy acidity balance the generous mouthfeel, culminating in a long, elegant finish. Food match Pairs beautifully with lamb cutlets, albondingas (meatballs), or black pudding. Grape Tempranillo 83%, Graciano 17%
