Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España
Imperial Gran Reserva
2018 · Red · Rioja · Spain
Cool-climate Rioja Alta in an exceptional year: Imperial 2018 is all dark fruit, graphite and fine tannin, built to unfurl slowly over decades.
Food Pairing
Chargrilled striploin steak
Classic cheeseburger · Beef birria
This is a structured, high-acid, tannic Rioja Gran Reserva, so it excels with protein-rich, fatty dishes like roast lamb, ribeye or galbi jjim where tannins bind with protein and the bright acidity cuts through richness.
