Bodegas Franco-Españolas Bordón 1994: A Timeless Rioja Classic

Producer & Heritage:
Crafted by Bodegas Franco-Españolas, a historic winery founded in 1890 during Rioja’s golden era, this wine embodies the fusion of French and Spanish winemaking traditions. Established when French vintners sought to revive phylloxera-ravaged vineyards, the winery pioneered Rioja’s iconic “fino” style. Today, it remains a symbol of Rioja’s rich heritage.

Vintage & Terroir:
The 1994 Bordón is a masterpiece of aging potential, sourced from Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo grapes grown across Rioja’s three distinct sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental. Each vineyard’s unique soil composition—ranging from chalky clays to iron-rich terrains—imparts complexity, while north-facing slopes in the Sierra de la Demanda foothills ensure optimal ripening.

Tasting Profile:
Aged to perfection, this 12.5% ABV red wine offers a harmonious balance of structure and elegance. Expect layers of dark fruit, subtle spice, and a velvety finish, reflecting decades of careful cellaring. Ideal for collectors or those seeking a fine wine with investment potential, it pairs beautifully with hearty dishes or stands alone as a contemplative sipper.
