The wine
An elegant and smooth Reserva with pleasant tannins.
What does this wine taste like?
A ruby red colour, the wine is clean and bright in appearance. The nose exudes an aroma brimming with intensity, of very ripe red fruit on a balsamic background. The palate is smooth, fresh and sinewy, with well-integrated and polished tannins, exhibiting touches of liquorice on the aftertaste.

The winery
Bodegas Luis Cañas
In 1989 Juan Luis Cañas, son of D. Luis Cañas, took up the reins of this family-owned winery with over two centuries of wine-making tradition. Since then the prestige of their wines has known no bounds, as these are top quality wines, mainly Crianzas and Reservas. Since 2009, Juan Luis has been the owner of Bodegas Amaren.
