Description
Marques De Riscal – Rioja Reserva is an emblematic offering from one of Spain’s oldest and most reputable wineries, Marques De Riscal. Founded in the mid-19th century, the winery has consistently produced some of the finest wines in the world, with a dedication to traditional methods while embracing innovation. The Rioja Reserva is a sublime expression of this philosophy, a Spanish red that encapsulates the rich viticultural heritage of the Rioja region.
This particular bottle, with a generous 750mL size, is meticulously crafted from selected Tempranillo grapes, a variety indigenous to Spain that thrives in the unique climate of the Rioja area. The wine undergoes a carefully managed aging process, spending time in both American oak barrels and the bottle itself before release. This maturation imbues the Rioja Reserva with a complex character, balancing the fruit’s natural vibrancy with deeper, more nuanced flavors.
Upon tasting, enthusiasts are greeted with a layered bouquet of aromas, from ripe blackberries and cherries to more subtle hints of vanilla, leather, and spice, a testimony to its aging process. The palate is equally sophisticated, offering a smooth, full-bodied experience with well-integrated tannins that culminate in a long, satisfying finish. It’s a wine that not only stands on its own as a remarkable drink but also pairs wonderfully with a range of cuisines, from hearty meats to refined cheeses.
