Marques De Riscal Rioja Reserva

Marqués de Riscal Reserva wines are produced mainly from tempranillo vines planted before the 1970s. Cultivated in the best clay-limestone soils in Rioja Alavesa. This variety resists well to the aging of the wine both in the barrel and in the bottle This is due to its good balance of acidity and fine tannin. Graciano and Mazuelo varieties, whose presence in the mixture does not exceed 10%, ensure clarity and a vivid color. 26 ° C and the maceration time is never more than 12 days. The reserves spend about two years in American oak barrels. Thus a wine is made that corresponds to the classic Rioja style. A fresh, fine, elegant wine and very suitable for many years. Before launching for sale, spend at least a year rounding in the glass. This is enough time to show how much complexity tempranillo is capable of. | 93 points, 2012 | Silver Medal, 2011 | Bronze Medal GOURMETS WINE GUIDE 2018 2011: Gold Medal SAKURA 2017 Marqués de Riscal Reserva 2013 | 94 points TIM ATKIN 2017 Marqués de Riscal Reserva 2011 | Gold Medal THE COUNTRY WINE YEARBOOK 2018 Marqués de Riscal Reserva 2012 | 93 points GOURMETS WINE GUIDE 2019 Marqués de Riscal Reserva 2013 | 88 points JAMESSUCKLING.COM Marqués de Riscal Reserva 2010 | 98
