Marques de Riscal XR Reserva is a distinguished red wine hailing from the renowned Rioja region of Spain, celebrated for its meticulous craftsmanship and rich heritage. This particular vintage showcases a harmonious blend primarily composed of Tempranillo grapes, complemented by smaller proportions of Graciano and Mazuelo. The wine undergoes an extensive aging process, spending at least 24 months in American oak barrels followed by additional time in the bottle, which contributes to its complex flavor profile. Upon tasting, one can expect an elegant interplay of dark fruits such as blackberries and plums, interwoven with subtle notes of vanilla, leather, and spice that emerge from the oak maturation.
The mouthfeel is velvety yet structured, offering a balanced acidity that enhances its longevity on the palate. As it opens up in the glass, hints of tobacco and earthy undertones become more pronounced, revealing layers that invite further exploration. Marques de Riscal XR Reserva is not merely a drink; it embodies tradition and innovation within winemaking. It pairs beautifully with robust dishes like grilled lamb or aged cheeses but also stands alone as a testament to fine Spanish viticulture for those who appreciate depth and character in their wine experience.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
