Tasting notes
Beautiful depth and complexity, somewhat introverted on the nose at first, yet inherently flavorful, revealing subtle notes of vanilla spice, dried orange, peppercorns, black mushrooms, and berries. The palate is fluid, beautifully fruity and intense, with delicate spices and lovely richness through the mid-palate. Long finish, lingering for a full minute.

About this wine
Marques de Riscal makes this Gran Reserva in Rioja Alavesa from Tempranillo, released under the Gran Reserva classification that requires extended ageing before release under Rioja's regulations. It is a wine built for patience, showing the mature, savoury character that long cellar time brings to Tempranillo.
Expect dried red fruit, leather, tobacco and vanilla-inflected oak, with soft, resolved tannins and a long, warming finish. Serve at 16-18°C alongside beef, duck, charcuterie, aged hard cheeses or hearty stews - a classic, food-friendly red for formal dinners on board.
