RiojaReserva2020

<p> The Rioja Reserva 2020 from Marqués de Murrieta is an expressive, classic Rioja that combines elegance and structure at the highest level. The venerable winery, one of the oldest in the region, produces this wine predominantly from Tempranillo , complemented by smaller portions of Graciano, Mazuelo, and Garnacha . The grapes come from the Finca Ygay ‘s own vineyards, known for their calcareous clay soils and ideal climate.</p><p>After temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine matures for around 20 months in American oak barrels , giving it its characteristic spicy notes and a perfect balance between fruit and wood. In the glass, the Rioja Reserva presents a deep ruby ​​red with light garnet reflections. The bouquet is complex and intense, with aromas of ripe red fruits, cherries and plums , accompanied by delicate notes of vanilla, tobacco, leather and spices . On the palate, it is full-bodied and harmonious, with well-integrated tannins, fresh acidity and a long, complex finish in which subtle toasted aromas and balsamic nuances unfold.</p><p> This timeless Rioja classic pairs perfectly with grilled meat, lamb dishes, and mature cheeses and shows great potential both now and with further bottle ageing.</p>
