About Marqués de Riscal Reserva

What do Ernest Hemingway, Salvador Dalí, and Frederick Forsyth have in common? The answer is quite simple: a fine glass of Marqués de Riscal Reserva
 
Straight from the village of Elciego, in the Rioja Alavesa, comes this red wine that has always ignited passions in the art world. Currently present in over 100 countries, many distinguished individuals have succumbed to its aroma and flavour, becoming forever immortalised in some of their works. However, fortunately, one does not need to be a great writer or a renowned artist to enjoy this red wine crafted from tempranillo, graciano, and mazuelo. The origin of these grapes is diverse, as Marqués de Riscal owns approximately 600 hectares. The remainder comes from various vineyards collaborating with this winery, striving to uphold the quality standards demanded by the winery (vines over 40 years old growing on clay and limestone soils).
 
After the harvest, Marqués de Riscal Reserva ferments at a controlled temperature and is left to macerate for approximately 12 days. After this period, Marqués de Riscal Reserva is racked, and the wine is transferred to American oak barrels, where it will remain for around 24 months.  Finally, the last 12 months that Marqués de Riscal Reserva rests in the bottle before reaching the market will be decisive. 
 
Marqués de Riscal Reserva is a wine that invites you to be part of a tradition that has captivated illustrious names and figures. How about you? Would you like to join this club?
