What it tastes like.

Made from grapes chosen one cluster at a time from our vines at El Fresno, vineyard in Laguardia, Rioja Alavesa. Fermentation of destemmed grapes takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 ºC to 30ºC. Macerated for 3 weeks with frequent pumpovers to ensure good colour extraction and smooth, round tannins.

Aged for 24 months in Allier oak barrels and 36 months in bottle.

100% Tempranillo

Bright, dark cherry red, with good depth and light brick rim.

Intense primary aromas, fresh and harmonious combined notes from oak ageing. Outstanding aromas of candied red fruit and spices underscored by mineral notes.

Sweet, ripe tannins in the mouth. Elegant, balanced mouth. Harmonious, pleasant, long aftertaste.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Familia Chávarri (Larchago)

Rioja Alavesa

"Francisco Chávarri founded the winery in 1882 in Lapuebla de Labarca, on the Álava (Basque) side of the Ebro river that bounds the Rioja DOCa. The family registered as the first commercial bottler in Rioja Alavesa, the sub-zone known for fresher, structured Tempranillos compared with the heavier styles further south.
