Marques De Riscal Rioja Gran Rsv - Item Code: 08064
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
The first sip of Marques De Riscal Rioja Gran Reserva wraps you in a tapestry of dark cherry, dried fig, and subtle cedar, evoking the warmth of a Spanish evening. Crafted in Spain with an ABV of 14.00%, this Rioja elegantly balances mature Tempranillo fruit with hints of tobacco and spice from extended oak aging, creating a wine that lingers gracefully on the palate. Its structure and depth make it an exceptional companion for roasted lamb or slices of nutty Manchego cheese, where each bite draws out new layers from the glass.
Producer Information: Marqués de Riscal
Marqués de Riscal, established in 1858 in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, Spain, stands as a pioneer of modern Spanish winemaking. Founded by Guillermo Hurtado de Amézaga, the estate introduced Bordeaux techniques to Rioja, including the use of French oak barrels and meticulous vineyard management. Their commitment to innovation is evident in their adoption of avant-garde architecture at their Elciego winery and a focus on terroir-driven expressions that highlight the unique limestone soils and Atlantic-influenced climate of the region. Beyond their flagship Rioja reds crafted primarily from Tempranillo grapes, Marqués de Riscal also produces acclaimed Verdejo-based white wines from Rueda and offers limited releases such as Gran Reserva bottlings that showcase extended aging potential. Their portfolio extends to organic wines and select sparkling cuvées, reflecting both tradition and adaptability within Spain’s diverse wine landscape.
