Gran Dominio Rioja Crianza

Winemaker Bodegas LAN on the winery

“Our winery was founded in 1972 in the heart of Rioja. The name LAN refers to the three provinces that make up the region: Logroño, Álava and Navarra. We work closely with local grape growers and select fruit from vineyards across Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa. Respect for origin is central to our approach. By combining modern winemaking techniques with traditional oak ageing, we create wines that retain the distinctive character of Rioja.”

And on Rioja, Spain

“For our Gran Dominio Crianza, we use predominantly Tempranillo, complemented by a small proportion of Garnacha. The grapes come from Rioja, where the climate and limestone-rich soils help create a fine balance of ripe fruit and freshness. After fermentation, the wine spends twelve months ageing in American oak barrels, followed by further maturation in bottle. The oak contributes notes of vanilla and spice, while the flavours of cherry and blackcurrant remain prominent. Soft tannins give the wine a rounded, balanced finish.”
