Three old Tempranillo vineyards in Laguardia (Valderromán, El Estado and Zarzamochuelo, planted between 1940 and 1966) are vinified separately before blending, following the same top-wine and second-wine model long used in Bordeaux, with UKAN as the flagship and Senderos de UKAN as the second wine. We were introduced to UKAN through Jamie at fellow independent Old Chapel Cellars, who discovered the winery and first flagged it to us. We then invited UKAN's ambassador, Alejandro, over to show us the full range, and the partnership has grown from there, giving us the chance to bring you more of what UKAN does. Reserve Wines has a semi-direct, exclusive relationship with the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it's made:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarieties: 100% Tempranillo, from three individual vineyard plots on clay-limestone soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-harvested in 15kg crates, with yields kept low at around 3,500kg\/Ha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble sorting by hand, first by bunch and then by individual berry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% destemmed, with 48 to 72 hours' cold maceration ahead of fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 to 12 day fermentation in 20HL open-top oak vats, with manual pigeage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged 16 months in 225L French oak barrels, bottled in June 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e DOCa Rioja, Rioja Alavesa, Laguardia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red, full bodied, still\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Spanish red wine has real power and real elegance in the same bottle.
