RECOMMENDED WINES
We have asked Bodegas Ochoa to recommend three wines, one for going around the house, for when we have engagement guests or we feel like opening a bottle simply because we feel like it, another for occasions, when a guest comes to us that we want to entertain, and the third, a different wine, one that has been made with special care and that we will not find in other wineries.

A red wine aged from Tempranillo, Graciano and Merlot that makes it fresh, fruity and versatile. It is aged for 9 months in used American and French oak barrels and also has a beautiful story that inspired it.
GALA WINE
OCHOA RESERVE
I like it because it is a special wine. To do so we reserve the best grapes, that is why it is called “Reserve”. It is mature, complex and, at the same time, elegant and silky. An elegant and classic Javier Ochoa wine, round and complex, with intense tannins and with the necessary time in barrel and bottle that comes from an exhaustive selection of grapes in the vineyard.
A SPECIAL WINE
OCHOA MOSCATEL
This wine is one of our flagships. With him we were the first Spanish winery to carry out an R&D project. I like it because it is a sweet, friendly wine, to which we have dedicated many hours and a lot of care and I am tremendously proud of it.
