    STORY BEHIND THE WINE

    Hermanos Hernáiz El Jardín de la Emperatriz Tinto is a premium Tempranillo and Garnacha blend from Rioja, Spain, crafted by brothers Eduardo and Víctor Hernáiz. Replacing the former Finca La Emperatriz Crianza, this wine represents a streamlined relaunch focused on terroir. It proudly holds Rioja’s highest classification, Viñedo Singular, a certification reserved for historic, limited-production plots that meet strict quality standards. The wine is sourced from 25-year-old vines planted in distinctive, pebbly sandy-loam soils once owned by Eugenia de Montijo, Empress of France.
