Marqués de Cáceres Reserve

The Marqués de Cáceres Reserva is of a noble structure, evident from its deep, dark color. Profound, complex textures reveal the high quality of this Reserva. Notes of dark fruit, combined with toasty aromas and a subtle hint of oak, create a vibrant, full-bodied, and concentrated flavor on the palate. The vines for this wine are located in Rioja Alta (85%) and Rioja Alavesa (15%) and yield approximately 35 liters per hectare. Harvesting is done entirely by hand, plot by plot. The Atlantic climate is temperate with distinct seasons. The wine is aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, one-third of which are new, one-third two-year-old, and one-third three-year-old. Following aging, the Reserva is further aged for at least two years in the bottle. This red wine has an aging potential of well over 10 years!
