Quoted on request. We do not publish prices, and quantities are often one.

A bodega that has changed almost nothing since 1877: American oak, long ageing, cobwebs. The 1973 red and the 1976 white Reserva are what old Rioja is supposed to taste like.

What the cellar holds

In the cellar: 1973 Tinto (three bottles), 1976 Blanco Reserva (two), 2004 Blanco Gran Reserva (100 points), magnums of 2004 and 2014.

Vintages in the cellar

Croian & Hein places bottles like this one with a small circle of collectors in Switzerland: discreetly, by appointment, and with the condition of every bottle described plainly before it travels.
