Product Description
Details

This well-known Spanish red wine embodies like few others the essence of La Rioja.

Among other things, the region is famed for the age-worthy potential of its wines. A quality, by the way, which the wine Marqués de Riscal Reserva, produced by the Marqués de Riscal winery, abundantly possesses.

Made from a traditional Rioja blend, the Tempranillo is the main component, nuanced by a dollop of Graciano. The grapes come from vines that have already reached quite a respectable age, as they were planted before the 1970s.

Vinified under controlled temperature and macerated for 12 days, the wine Marqués de Riscal Reserva 2020 was subsequently aged in American oak barrels for 21 months.

Prior to its commercial release, this Rioja red wine was aged for 12 months in the cellar.

Aerate this Reserva red wine some time before drinking.

Very nice Rioja
Value
I agree with the Penin score of 94.
This is a very nice tasting Reserva 2017.
It's medium bodied, well balanced, with a nice oaky touch, a typical good Rioja and very good value for money!

Riscal is like Bach to musicians. After you've played lots of fancy stuff, you need to go back to the roots to recover a sense of primordial belonging.
