Jose Gil Rioja Reserva 2023 – Premium Spanish Red Wine

Crafted from José’s highest elevation vineyard at 610 meters—home to century-old Tempranillo and Garnacha vines—Camino de Ribas is a transcendent Rioja that redefines Spain’s winemaking legacy. This rare blend marries bold fruit intensity with Burgundian elegance, offering ageworthy complexity for discerning palates seeking premium red wine experiences.

Nestled in Rioja’s northern reaches, the vines thrive on sandy soils layered over sandstone, while cooling Cantabrian winds sculpt a crisp freshness into each bottle. The meticulous hand-harvested grapes undergo native yeast fermentation before aging gently in neutral French oak barrels for ten months—a process preserving the wine’s purity while weaving subtle vanilla nuances into its core.

On the palate, vibrant pomegranate and blood orange notes dance alongside rosewater elegance, anchored by stony minerality from its terroir-driven origins. The finish lingers with airy refinement, making this an ideal companion for roasted game birds like partridge or rich dishes such as truffle risotto and duck à l’orange.

With 13% alcohol by volume and a harmonious balance of power and grace, Camino de Ribas stands apart as José’s most poetic expression of Rioja’s potential—a testament to old-vine character and meticulous craftsmanship in Spanish winemaking.
