Excellence has a name, Gran Reserva 890, and a number, 100. Few wines in the world can boast of receiving four resounding ‘100 points’ from specialized critics in just a few months. This milestone firmly establishes the 2010 vintage of La Rioja Alta, S.A.'s top wine as one of the best in history.
The initial perfect score for Gran Reserva 890 came from the pages of Sobremesa magazine, marking a historic moment as it was the first time in the publication's 40-year history that a wine reached this pinnacle after thousands of tastings. The second celebration followed with the announcement in the 2024 Peñín Guide to Spanish Wines, a global reference manual for our country's wines, bestowing a perfect 100 points upon La Rioja Alta, S.A.'s Gran Reserva 890.
Just a few weeks later, the 2024 ABC Newspaper Wine Guide certified the third 100 points, crowning it as the Best Red Wine in Spain—the one that touched the sky. Thus concluded a magical year. However, a fourth celebration awaited, requiring only a few days into this newly minted year: the Vivir el Vino 2024 Guide completes the accolades for this extraordinary 2010 vintage, undoubtedly one of the best of the 21st century, with a fourth ‘100.’
Its depth, breadth, complexity, and elegance encapsulate the essence of one of Rioja's classic wines with international acclaim. Undoubtedly, it is the optimal wine for toasting in the most special moments—much like achieving a fourth ‘100 points.’
