This is a Magnum / 1.5 Litre bottle of the Ochoa Grand Reserva.
"Ochoa Gran Reserva is a reference of our winery and our family. is produced only in exceptional harvest years. Ochoa Gran Reserva is the result of an exhaustive selection of grapes in the vineyard. It’s the best of our best. We only make it in good years and the quantity varies.
It is an elegant, rounded wine with delicious tannins, aged long enough in the cask and in the bottle to become a Gran Reserva.
Made from Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes from vineyards El Secadero, La Milla and Montijo. It ages for 8 years in the winery, where the first 2 years ages in American and French oak barrels of 225 liters and the rest of the time in bottle until it reaches the moment to start drinking it. Of course this wine can still improve in the bottle. We estimate its potential in 10 more years once it is released into the market, so approximately 20 years since its harvest."

If you are more of a organic/biodynamic/natural/transparent wine fellow, Lapierre is a name you will know well. If you don't, not to worry because we will explain why this wine is important.
Marcel lapierre took over his father's vineyard in 1973, and started to challenge the norm. His mentor, Jules Chauvet was one of (if not) the first person to speak out about natural wine; a style of wine that is honest and true to what nature intended. With Lapierre joining Chauvet, his winery is one of the biggest names known to the natural wine world. Unfortunatley Marcel passed in 2010, but his son Mathieu and daughter Camille carry on his legacy, producing natural and delicious Beaujolais. This Morgon is one of their flagship wines. It's stony, it's flinty, it's dark plum, it's cherry, it is complex. A wine that can age, but also is showing well in its youth. Sit back, relax, and experience Lapierre.
