- Deep black-cherry colour, almost opaque. It has a very elegant, complex nose, with aromas of black fruit and lots of spice. It is smooth and round in the mouth, with firm yet silky tannins and very sweet, enveloping the whole palate. The finish is long, lingering, fresh, and balanced, with a hint of elegant tannins.
The region of La Rioja lends its name to Spain`s most widely recognised wines. Rioja is split into three major districts: Alta and Alavesa to the north, which are higher in altitude and the hot, dry Oriental district to the south (previously known as Rioja Baja). Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo are the main red grape varieties used; however, more international varieties can also be used. The traditional ageing classification system gives Rioja wines their distinctive style through the influence of extended ageing in oak barrels.

| Winery | The origins of the go back to 1858, when the Marques de Riscal, who was resident in Bordeaux, was asked to hire a French winemaker to help the locals improve their winemaking techniques; four years later, in 1862, they produced the first ever Rioja wine to be bottled. In 1895, Marques de Riscal was the first non-French wine to win the diploma of honour in the Bordeaux Exhibition. Today, the company owns nearly 600 hectares of vines across La Rioja, Rueda, and Castilla y Leon. Since 2006 Riscal inaugurated “The City of Wine” including a state-of-the-art winery and a hotel designed by the famous architect Frank O. Gehry. |
