Production and aging
Marqués de Vargas Reserva is a wine made from grapes over 30 years old, grown in the vineyards of "El Cónsul", "La Misela" and "Terrazas". After maceration with the skins for 11 days with daily pump-overs, it undergoes an elaborate aging process: 30% in new American oak barrels, 40% in American, French, and Russian oak barrels previously used for another wine, 20% in French oak barrels, and the remaining 10% in new Russian oak barrels.
Marqués de Vargas contributes to environmental care and practices sustainable agriculture. No herbicides or pesticides are used in our vineyards. This wine is made using traditional methods combined with cutting-edge technology.
