Vinedos Hermanos Hernaiz Rioja Finca la Emperatriz Gran Vino Tinto 750 ML

Introduction

Finca La Emperatriz is the original name of a unique estate in Baos de Rioja, now under ownership of the Herniz family.
The name comes from the original owner, the once Empress of France, Eugenia de Montijo. This Spanish noblewoman was wife to Napolen III (himself the creator of the Cru system in Bordeaux), and was already making high quality wines in the second half of the XIXth century, winning a medal for them at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1878.
The Herniz family bought the whole estate in 1996, and immediately set out on their first project to make top quality wines.
