Marques de Atrio Gran Selección Rioja - Item Code: 09200
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Marques de Atrio Gran Selección Rioja is a distinguished red wine that exemplifies the rich heritage of the Rioja region in Spain. Crafted primarily from Tempranillo grapes, this wine showcases a harmonious blend with small proportions of Graciano and Mazuelo, which contribute to its complexity and depth. The meticulous aging process involves an extended period in both American and French oak barrels, allowing for the development of nuanced flavors. On the palate, it reveals layers of dark cherry, plum, and subtle hints of vanilla and spice, complemented by well-integrated tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the fruit.
The wine’s vibrant acidity ensures a refreshing finish while enhancing its food-pairing versatility. Ideal for accompanying grilled meats or hearty stews, Marques de Atrio Gran Selección also stands out when enjoyed on its own. Its deep ruby color invites exploration, while aromas of ripe berries intermingled with earthy undertones captivate the senses. This expression not only reflects traditional winemaking techniques but also embodies a modern approach to crafting wines that resonate with both connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.
