2007 Marques de Riscal Gran Reserva Rioja

To make their Gran Reserva wines, Riscal uses grapes produced by old vines over 80 years old, from estate vineyards and bought from regular local growers. After blending the wines from the harvest, the wine destined to become a Gran Reserva is transferred into French oak casks where it will remain for between two and a half and three years, followed by a further three years in the bottle prior to release for sale.

Intense black-cherry color with violet hues. On the nose, it expresses its complex, balsamic, aromatic intensity, in perfect balance with the fruit and lightly toasted aromas that recall fine wood. In the mouth, it is smooth and full, in harmony with the fruit, with well-concentrated tannins, round and with a long, lingering finish.

90% Tempranillo, 8% Graciano, 2% Mazuelo
