The wine is deep ruby red in colour with a dense texture.
The aromas are intense, gossamer. There is prune, cherry, vanilla, coconut, milk chocolate, sweet spices, leather, pepper, tobacco and herbs.
A wine of intensity and virtue, with youthful acidity and tannin that will continue to round out. A wine of elegance and a very long, noble and harmonious aftertaste.
Grape varieties: tempranillo, graciano
A wine that is only vinified in the best vintages. The wine is a selection of the best grapes from vineyards planted between 1930 and 1940 on the slopes of the picturesque town of Briones, 550 metres above sea level.
Ročno obrano grozdje so zbrali v majhne zabojčke. Sledila je ročna selekcija najboljših grozdov. Fermentacija je potekala v majhnih posodah iz nerjavnega jekla pri kontrolirani temperaturi s pogostim remontage (prelivanje mošta čez klobuk). Miguel Merinu je eleganca pomembnejša od moči in to skušajo doseči zlasti pri fermentacijah. Mlečni razkis se je zgodil z zorenjem v sodčkih.
Vino je trideset mesecev zorelo v 14 novih barik sodčkih iz francoskega hrasta, ob konstantni skrbi za polnost sodov. Za tem je sledilo tri letno šolanje v steklenicah.
A total of 3,365 hundred glasses and 378 magnums of the 2015 Gran Reserve were produced.
Ageing potential: 10 years and more
Serving temperature: 16 - 18 °C

Miguel Merino je ena najmanjših kleti iz območja Rioja Alta. Gre za butično klet, ki svojo filozofijo kroji skozi sledenje eleganci. Leta 1994 jo je ustanovil Miguel Merino, ki je po dolgih letih izvažanja španskih vin po celem svetum uresničil svoje sanje o majhni in butični vinski kleti ‘bodegi’. Za svoj sedež je izbral Briones, eno najlepših vasi Rioje in, kar je še pomembneje, vas okoli katere so posajeni najstarejši vinogradi tega območja. Vsi njihovi vinogradi so v okolici vasice in so bili zasajeni med 1929 in 2001. Miguel z družino obdeluje skoraj 13 hektarjev in na leto pridela okoli 55.000 kg grozdja. Ukvarjajo se s tradicionalnim in trajnostnim vinogradništvom, brez uporabe herbicidov ter z veliko ročnega dela. Trgatev poteka ročno. Gre za zelo majhno, butično klet (ekipa 4 oseb), ki upravičeno velja za eno vodilnih tako imenovanega novega vala Rioja vin. Vina izvažajo v 23 držav. Na leto vstekleničijo približno 60.000 steklenic, ki jih sestavlja 7 različnih vin.
