Aroma: dark cherry, cassis, tobacco, cedar

Palate: concentrated dark fruit, cedar spice, structured tannins, mineral

Museum's Reserva tier adds weight and structure: concentrated dark cherry, cassis and tobacco from 20 months in French oak, with firm tannins and a mineral thread from the Peñafiel limestone soils.

What it pairs with

  • Slow-roasted suckling pig
    Firm structure and concentrated dark fruit balance the Castilian cochinillo.
  • Grilled sirloin with bone marrow
    Dense tannins and dark fruit suit the richness and fat of the beef-bone combination.
  • Aged Manchego with walnut
    The wine's mineral thread and concentrated fruit pair with nutty aged cheese.

History

Museum Real Reserva draws from the estate's best Tinto Fino selections, spending 20 months in French oak barrels to develop concentration and structure. It represents the Finca Museum cellar museum estate's ambition beyond the everyday Crianza tier.
