Rioja, made from the grape varieties 93% Tempranillo and 7% Graciano.

Highly versatile and a true representative of a Rioja wine, Marqués de Riscal Reserva has been enjoyed by generations of wine lovers around the world and praised by personalities from art and culture, including Ernest Hemingway, Salvador Dalí and Frederick Forsyth.

Marqués de Riscal Reservas are made primarily from grapes from Tempranillo variety vines planted before the 1970s, located in the best clay-limestone soils of Rioja Alavesa.

This variety withstands aging in wood and bottle aging well thanks to its good acid balance and fine tannins.

The Graciano variety, whose percentage in the mixture does not exceed 10%, provides freshness and vibrancy of color.

Production: Fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature of 26ºC with a maceration time that does not exceed 12 days.

Riscal's reserve wines remain for approximately two years (24 months) in American oak barrels, creating a wine that fits within the canons of Rioja classicism: fresh, fine, elegant and with great aging potential.

Before being released to the market, it has a minimum bottle aging period of one year.

Optimal serving temperature: Between 16 and 18ºC.
