About the Wine

This enjoyable red Wine by Viña Real is crafted in Rioja. Available in 75cl bottles, imported by Hatch Mansfield. Rioja Gran Reserva, Viña Real is a delicious wine, made with Tempranillo and Graciano grapes. This wine has a cork closure and, like many wines on our list, this wine is suitable for vegan diets. Mature, full-bodied Rioja is superb with roast or grilled lamb and beef, as well as autumnal dishes based around mushrooms or flavoursome wild game.
