1970 Federico Paternina Ollauri Rioja Gran Reserva

Producer: Federico Paternina     Region: Rioja, Spain  Varietal: Tempranillo  Year: 1964    About the Producer:  "Neal Martin described Federico Paternina in the Wine Advcoate as one of the Rioja's "stalwart estates".  Federico Paternina established this winery in 1896 on a site featuring cellars dug in the 16th century in Ollauri, Rioja Alta. 1956 is an important year, as Paternina hosted a very distinguished figure: Ernest Hemingway.  The legendary writer would visit the bodega several times and Paternina would become Hemingway's go-to Rioja.  Hemingway's love for Spain is widely known. He loved its culture, and of course, the delicious Paternina wines!"   Alcohol: 11-14%  *Discounts do not apply to items like this one in the Fine & Rare category.
