No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context

Official geographic-register context
What the official register confirms about Rioja
BottlePicker found an exact region-name match in an official wine or spirits register. This establishes useful regional context; it does not by itself prove that this particular bottle is entitled to the designation. Check the producer label and specification for that claim.

Bodegas Ontañón Gran Reserva is a top-class expression of Rioja at its most refined — a wine that has earned its time and rewards every minute of it. From the La Pasada vineyard at 700–800 metres altitude in Rioja Oriental, Tempranillo and Graciano are aged for 36 months in oak and a further 24 months in bottle before release, producing a Gran Reserva of genuine finesse, complexity, and elegance.
Why You'll Love It
Bodegas Ontañón is a fifth-generation family winery, and this Gran Reserva is the pinnacle of their craft. Siblings Raquel and Rubén Ontañón continue a tradition of producing wines that are as expressive as they are age-worthy — and the 2015 vintage, now with a decade of development behind it, is drinking beautifully. If you're looking for a special-occasion Rioja that delivers real gravitas without the grand cru price tag, this is it.
Vineyard & Production
Sourced from the La Pasada vineyard at 700–800 metres altitude in Rioja Oriental (formerly Rioja Baja).
The Blend
of Tempranillo and Graciano matures for 36 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels, followed by a further 24 months in bottle before release — allowing full integration, complexity, and the kind of seamless polish that only time can deliver.
Tasting Notes
Beautifully developed aromas of dark fruit, red cherry, spice, tobacco, and mocha. The palate is layered and structured — black fruit, spice, and subtle toasty oak, supported by smooth, fully resolved tannins. The finish is long, elegant, and deeply satisfying.
Perfect Pairings
A wine made for the table. Excellent with roast meats, fine cured ham, Iberian charcuterie, and mature cheeses. Also a natural match for slow-roasted lamb, venison, or a classic beef Wellington.
The Blend
Tempranillo 85%, Graciano 15% — DOCa Rioja Oriental, Spain. 36 months oak, 24 months bottle. La Pasada vineyard. 75cl bottle.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
