1996 RIOJA - VIÑA TOBIA - GIANT BOTTLE 18L (MELCHOR)

The 18-liter bottle of Viña Tobia 1996, known as Melchizedek or Midas, is a piece of exceptional importance beyond the wine it contains. This format, equivalent to 24 standard 750 ml bottles, is extremely rare and represents a milestone in winemaking craftsmanship. Produced in the Rioja region, its monumental size indicates that it was created for an extraordinary purpose, such as a large-scale celebration, a prestigious auction, or a luxury exhibition, making it a symbol of status and exclusivity.

The bottle itself, with its time-worn label and an original, restored cork, reflects a dedication to preserving historical authenticity. Since 1996, it has witnessed nearly three decades of history, surviving cultural and social changes while remaining a collectible. Its imposing presence and the rarity of its format make it more valuable as a relic than the liquid inside, being a tangible testament to the legacy of Viña Tobia and the Rioja tradition, coveted by collectors and wine lovers as a unique work of art.

- Perfect for display, this vintage bottle is ideal for drink collectors and mixology history lovers. 

- The optimal condition of the product is not guaranteed, given the age of the contents the consumption isn't either.

- Giant bottle advertising format (24800g)

- It will be shipped with specialized packaging to preserve its authenticity and condition.

NOTE: given the characteristics, fragility, weight and measurements. Requires personalized and special packaging. Hence, the shipping costs. For shipments to extra-island and similar areas or outside the EU, shipping costs may increase.
