Product details

  • Variety

    Tempranillo
  • Dark cherry colour with good depth. Balsamic aromas with hints of ripe fruit. For a complex wine there are beautifully soft, rounded tannins on the mid palate. Spicy and complex on the finish, good length with subtle toasted oak character. This wine carries quite a reputation with Rioja fans, and we think deservedly so.

Winemaking

As far back as 1858, the Marques de Riscal winery became the first in Rioja to produce wines following the Bordeaux method. From Elciego and its surrounding villages in the Rioja region which lies in north-east Spain. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 26ºC and the maceration time is never more than 12 days. Riscal Reservas spend around two years in American-oak casks, producing a wine which corresponds to the classic Rioja style: fresh, fine, elegant and very suitable for laying down for many years. Before release for sale it spends a minimum of one year rounding off in the bottle.

Food recommendation

This wine pairs well with ham, mild cheeses, casseroles which are not too spicy, pulse dishes, poultry, red meat, grilled and roast meat.
