Product Notes

Bodegas LAN Culmen Rioja Reserva wine is an exquisite, high-end Spanish wine produced in Rioja, Spain by the acclaimed Bodegas LAN. This exclusive Reserva showcases remarkable balance and layered complexity, featuring rich flavours of dark berries, spicy oak, and hints of chocolate. The wine presents a deep cherry colour with an impressive texture and structure, underpinned by silky tannins. Aged in French and Russian oak, it develops an extraordinary elegance and longevity. The wine’s memorable finish echoes its earlier promise on the palate, making it a perfect choice for memorable occasions and fine dining experiences.

Tasting Notes

Deep cherry red in colour. On the nose, the 'Culmen' is elegant and layered with a bouquet that combines black cherry and blackberry with mineral nuances typical of Viña Lanciano, a beautifully integrated spiciness from the oak and tertiary notes of leather and earth. This wine treads the fine line between power and elegance, with firm but velvety tannins and a bright acidity that carries the complex flavours onto the long and persistent finish.
