Marques de Riscal Rioja Reserva 2021

Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva 2021 is a classic and elegant Rioja that reflects the winery’s long-standing tradition of crafting refined, age-worthy wines. Produced primarily from Tempranillo with small amounts of Graciano and Mazuelo, this Reserva delivers a harmonious balance of ripe fruit, subtle oak, and polished structure.

The nose opens with aromas of black cherry, plum, and red berry layered with notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and gentle spice. On the palate, the wine reveals smooth flavors of dark fruit complemented by hints of cocoa, cedar, and baking spice. Fine tannins and balanced acidity create a medium-to-full-bodied texture, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering notes of fruit and oak.

Aged in oak barrels and further refined in bottle, Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva 2021 showcases the hallmark complexity and finesse associated with traditional Rioja winemaking. The wine balances freshness with depth, making it both approachable now and suitable for further aging.

Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva 2021 pairs beautifully with roasted meats, grilled lamb, tapas, aged cheeses, and hearty Spanish cuisine.
