Grape

Grenache, Tempranillo, Mazuelo

Origin
From Marqués de Murrieta's Ygay estate in La Rioja Alta, the exceptionally ripe grapes used in this Reserva are carefully selected, hand-picked and aged in small oak barriques for 2 years with further bottle maturation before it is released.
Taste
A dense plum colour and a big, spicy nose revealing an abundance of cassis and liquorice, laced with hints of tobacco. With beautiful texture, outstanding purity, full body and a long finish.
Enjoy
Rioja was traditionally paired with grilled fish in rich, spicy sauces, although roast meats are a perfect match. Decant before serving.

    A beautiful example of what a Rioja should be.

    Quite smooth and fruity, a hint of oak and just enough "grip"to ensure a long life. I have just ordered 12 bottles!

  • "This Rioja is from one of the regions historic producers. A lovely nose of cedar spice and vanilla, following on to notes of cassis and cranberry on the palate with a lengthly finish. A medium bodied wine and a perfect choice to accompany roast lamb. Clearly a super vintage from a respected producer at a fantastic price!"
