Description

The complexity and elegance of a Rioja red wine by Marqués de Riscal

The producer

Located near the village of Logroño, in the north of Spain, Bodega Marqués de Riscal dates back to 1858.

Although the estate is one of the first winemaking institutions in La Rioja, Marqués de Riscal's uniqueness lies in its pioneering spirit and its constant quest for excellence, which is reflected in its wide range of refined wines with a rich aromatic palette.

In 2011, Marqués de Riscal was recognised as one of the top 10 most admired wine brands in the world by the highly respected magazine "Drinks International", Marquès de Riscal is a benchmark not only due to both the quality of its wines and the exceptional architecture designed by Frank O. Gehry.

The wine

Reserva 2016 by Marqués de Riscal is made from Rioja Alavesa vineyards planted before the 1970s on clay-limestone soils.

The vintage

The winter was particularly mild, with a lot of rainfall which compensated for the previous season’s very dry weather. Budburst was noted on the 14th of April. The hot and dry conditions during the summer, particularly in August and early September, led to water stress which affected the vineyard. The situation improved from mid-September onwards, the rainy spells boosted the development of the vineyard and the cool temperatures at night helped refine the ripening process.

The vinification and ageing

Fermentation lasts 12 days maximum, followed by a 12-day skin maceration. The wine is aged in American oak barrels for approximately two years, followed by at least one year of bottle ageing before being sold.

The blend

Marqués de Riscal's Reserva 2016 comprises a blend of Tempranillo (96%) and Graciano (4%). The balance and refinement of Tempranillo is harmoniously combined with the freshness and vivacity of Graciano.

The tasting

Colour

Deep, beautiful cherry red colour.

Nose

Expressive and complex, the nose subtly blends intense fruity fragrances with notes of liquorice, cinnamon and pepper.

Palate

This wine is seductive due to its structure, its round tannins as well as its persistent finish marked by a suave hint of balsamic.

Service

For an optimal tasting experience, serve between 16°C and 18°C.

Food and wine pairing

This Rioja red wine will perfectly complement cured ham, lightly matured cheeses, dishes with a sauce or dried vegetables, poultry, red meat or grilled and roasted meats.
