2017 Bodega Akutain Reserva Rioja DOCa, Spain Zarate 5 tons/hectareThe Akutain Reserva is comprised of mostly Tempranillo with Garnacha. It was fermented with native yeasts in fiberglass vats, and raised in older American oak for 2 years and 10 months, with additional year in the bottle before release. A throwback to Rioja's past.
