Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Gran Reserva: A Tribute to Tradition and Excellence
The Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Gran Reserva is a wine that is only crafted in exceptional vintages. Originally created to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the winery, it stands as a tribute to the rich history and winemaking traditions of Rioja Alavesa.
To create this remarkable wine, primarily Tempranillo grapes are harvested from some of the oldest vineyard plots in the region, with vines that are a minimum of 80 years old. These venerable, low-yielding vines produce some of the most concentrated and flavorful fruit of the harvest, bringing an unparalleled depth to the wine.
Marrying both modern techniques and traditional practices, this Gran Reserva is a true reflection of the region's terroir. It offers a perfect balance of complexity and freshness, along with a harmonious interplay of power and finesse. The result is a wine that encapsulates the most genuine expression of Rioja Alavesa, showcasing the enduring legacy of the land and the artistry of its winemakers.
