The Riscal Marqués Reserves are basically elaborated from grapes from Viñas of the Tempranillo variety planted before Of the 70s, located in the best calcareous clay floors of La Rioja Alavesa. This variety supports wood-up-aging and bottle aging thanks to its good acid balance and its fine tanagement. The variety Graciano, whose percentage in the mixture does not exceed 10%, provide freshness and color vividness. Fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature of 26ºC with a maceration time that does not exceed 12 days. Riscal reserves remain approximately two years in American oak barrels, configuring a wine that is framing inside the canons of Riojan, fresh, fine, elegant and with great aging potential. Before going on the market, it has a minimum one-year bottle tuning period.
Cherry wine was very covered, intense and with just signs of evolution. On the nose it is very expressive with Licorice, cinnamon and black pepper, where the long wood-up-aging is barely perceived, thanks to its great complexity and concentration of mature fruit. In the mouth is fresh, with very nice polished tannins, with good structure but easy to drink. The end of the mouth is long and leaves a few balsamic memories of great quality.
This wine domestic well with ham, not very cured cheeses, stews with not very spicy sauces , cooked legumes or stewed, birds, red meats, grilled meats and roasted.
