Hermanos Hernaiz ‘El Jardin de la Emperatriz’ Tinto 750 ML

Finca La Emperatriz is the original name of a unique estate in Baños de Rioja, now under ownership of the Hernáiz family.
The name comes from the original owner, the once Empress of France, Eugenia de Montijo. This Spanish noblewoman was wife to Napoleón 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 Hernáiz family bought the whole estate in 1996, and immediately set out on their first project to make top quality wines.
