The Marqués de Murrieta Reserva is an emblematic red wine from the Rioja D.O.Ca, produced by Bodegas Marqués de Murrieta at the historic Finca Ygay, located in Rioja Alta. Its blend is made up of 87% Tempranillo, 6% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo, and 2% Garnacha, sourced from their own vineyards located between 320 and 485 meters above sea level. The harvest is done manually, and each variety ferments separately in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. Subsequently, the wine ages for 16 months in 225-liter American oak barrels and is refined in the bottle before being released, achieving a balance between tradition and modernity. Tasting notes: - Sight: Bright cherry red color with garnet rim. - Nose: Intense aromas of ripe red fruits (strawberry, cherry), floral, balsamic, and spicy notes, with hints of vanilla and leather from its oak aging. - Palate: Elegant and balanced entry, with round tannins and refreshing acidity. Long and persistent finish, with flavors of ripe fruit, sweet spices, and subtle minerality. Recommended pairing: This wine is ideal to accompany grilled red meats, traditional stews, game dishes, and aged cheeses. Its gastronomic versatility makes it an excellent choice for various occasions. Marqués de Murrieta Reserva is a wine that reflects the essence of Rioja Alta, combining elegance, balance, and complexity. Its careful production and aging give it a distinctive personality, making it a safe choice for both traditional wine lovers and those seeking quality and authenticity in every glass.
