La Tercera Rioja Reserva
The body in the first sip is like a plush, velvet curtain that slowly parts to reveal earthy wood and the 30 months it aged in French oak barrels. This medium-bodied blend balances all the best this region of Spain has to offer. Now when you think of Rioja, this easy drinker will come to mind.

Château Coucheroy Sauvignon Blanc
A softer wine for being a pure Sauvignon Blanc, and certainly a point of pride for the local town. According to legend, King Henry IV stopped in this region for a rest after the Battle of Coutras. We’re sure he would have enjoyed the crisp palate this Sauvignon Blanc boasts. A wine fit for royalty!
