Marqués de Riscal »Baron de Chirel« Reserva 0.75L

The Baron de Chirel is the flagship of Marqués de Riscal — a Rioja that shows what Tempranillo can achieve on old vines. Behind the name is the winery Herederos del Marqués de Riscal, which has been working in Elciego in the Rioja Alavesa since 1858 and is one of the most historically significant houses in the entire region.

In the glass, the Baron de Chirel presents itself with dark ruby red and a multi-layered bouquet: ripe blackberry and black cherry, underscored by cedar wood, dried herbs, and a hint of leather. On the palate, the wine appears full-bodied with well-integrated tannins that provide structure without dominating. The finish is long, spicy, and lasting — typical for a mature Reserva from this appellation.

Drink it between 16 and 18 °C with braised lamb shoulder, roast beef with roasted vegetables, or a strong Manchego. Those who do not have a roast on the table will also find the Baron de Chirel a worthy companion to Iberian ham or spicy hard cheese.
