    A note from the Domaine:

    "In Spain, there’s a tradition of blending multiple vintages together in order to portray the domaine in the most representative, personal way possible. The result is a wine that tells a story of past vintages and emotions. This kind of cuvée is called Reserva Especial."

    "At Roc d’Anglade, we strive for our Reserva to incarnate and transcend our domaine’s signature, with vibrant fruit, refined aromas and textures, carried by a freshness that allows the wine to improve with age."

    "Vintages play a similar role to grape varieties in this blend. Some vintages make up the base of the cuvée, its spine, while others are there to enhance, either by sharing their wisdom because they are further along in age, or by bringing energy because they are younger."
