Bought from the cellars of the Paternina winery in 2015 in Rioja. Stored in private cellar up to today. This is a very rare limited-edition vinified for the 1st Centenary of the winery in 1996. Bottles were only given to loyal customers and company commitments. Gran Reserva Paternina 1981 was vinified and aged in cask for 15 years (bottled in 1996): 9 more years than the regular Gran Reserva. This is a fine selection of 10 barrels, no more than 3.000 bottles, selected by the winery owners to be aged in the traditional Paternina old-style. *** All international parcels are shipped with the highest standards of quality: through the premium “UPS International Express”, the fastest service against signature provided by the courier. Packed in a special wine box officially certified by UPS / DHL. Bottles are packed individually, one by one, and wrapped in a 3 layers bubble wrap. Due to the nature of the wine and the value of the products all lots are shipped with insurance coverage. ***
