The Marqués de Riscal Reserva is made from Tempranillo grapes from vineyards planted before the 70s in Rioja Alavesa. These grapes, alongside Graciano and Mazuelo in smaller quantities, yield a wine that ages well in wood and bottle while offering a delicate balance of acidity and fine tannins. Visually, it presents a dense, deep cherry color, while the nose offers a complex balsamic and spiced aroma with hints of black fruits and slightly toasted notes. The palate features good structure, being flavorful and dense, with round and elegant tannins. The finish is long and fresh, with subtle oak wood notes. It is recommended to be served between 16º and 18ºC, making it the perfect companion for ham, soft cheeses, stews, and various types of meat.
