Marqués de Cáceres, Tempranillo, Rioja Gran Reserva, Spain 2019

Intense color with lightly brick-red hues. Mature fruits like figs, spices, a backdrop of fine oak and finest leather add elegance and depth of complexity on the nose. Over time it maintains its rich expressiveness without losing intensity while preserving the enjoyable sensations of the wine. An excellent wine of great personality.

Excellent on the palate, its silky tannin is complemented by a touch of luscious fruit. It reveals fullness as well as liveliness on the palate. The aftertaste is lengthy with a softly spicy finish.

Special selection of old vines from Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa, aged between 65 and 85 years old. Very low yields of between 3,000 and 4,500 kg/ha due to the age and limited vigor of the vines. Produced mainly with Tempranillo grapes from vineyards planted at different altitudes in Cenicero, Elciego and Laguardia. This vintage is blended with small quantities of red Garnacha and Graciano grapes. The red Garnacha grapes come exclusively from vineyards in Rioja Alta, located in Cenicero and Nájera, achieving finesse, freshness as well as structure. The Graciano is mostly harvested in Elciego, bringing the unique character of delicacy and grace.
