Marques De Riscal Reserva 2021 boxed is an outstanding red wine from the Denomination of Origin (D.O.C.) Rioja. This wine is made from a careful selection of grapes, predominantly 90% Tempranillo, complemented by 7% Graciano and 3% Mazuelo, sourced from vineyards dating back to before the 1970s, cultivated in the most favored clay-limestone soils of Rioja Alavesa. The result is a classic, fresh, and elegant wine with great aging potential. Its presentation in a box makes it an ideal gift option or for special occasions. When tasting, it showcases an attractive deep cherry color. On the nose, complex notes of licorice, cinnamon, black pepper, and ripe fruit are present. On the palate, the wine offers a fresh experience with smooth, pleasant tannins and a friendly structure. Additionally, it is versatile in pairing, perfect for accompanying ham, lightly cured cheeses, mild stews, legumes, poultry, red meats, and roasts.
