Experience a rare piece of Spanish wine history with this exceptional 1973 Rioja Tempranillo from the esteemed Bodegas Franco-Españolas. Crafted during a pivotal era, this vintage Rioja embodies the profound heritage of one of Spain’s most iconic regions.

Born from the unique Franco-Spanish collaboration in 1890 – a direct response to France’s phylloxera crisis – Bodegas Franco-Españolas pioneered the distinctive “fino wines of Rioja.” The Bordón label is a living testament to this rich past, showcasing a classic Rioja blend made with unwavering commitment to tradition.

This aged Spanish red wine is meticulously composed of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo grapes.
