Marques de Riscal Gran Reserva 2016 - 150th Anniversary
Marqués de Riscal is recognized as a true pioneer in modern Spanish wine, instrumental in shaping the identity of Rioja since its founding in 1858. The forward-thinking winery embraces a philosophy focused on vineyard health and resilience. This approach includes regenerative agriculture, keeping tilling to a minimum to increase soil organic matter, and using cover crops and trees to foster biodiversity.
Wine Description
The wine is an intense black-cherry colour with violet hues. On the nose, it offers a complex, balsamic, aromatic intensity that is beautifully balanced with fruit and subtle, lightly toasted notes from fine oak. A deeper look reveals aromas of black plum, dark chocolate, Earl Grey tea, black mushrooms, sweet cherries, plums, cedar, and intense lavender.
Accolades
'James Suckling - 96 points'
'Wine Enthusiast - 95 points'
'Wine Spectator - 91 points'
Food Pairing
This Gran Reserva is a versatile gastronomic wine. Suggested pairings include ham, mature cheese, all kinds of roasts, red meat, poultry, and game casseroles. The structure and depth of the wine also complement charcuterie.
