Marqués de Riscal Gran Reserva Rioja

A classic Rioja that shows the strengths of the traditional style: firm structure, lively acidity, and the typical depth of long aging.

Marqués de Riscal is one of the oldest estates in Rioja — founded in 1858, it was the first winery to bring Bordeaux grape varieties and the French barrique tradition to the region. The Gran Reserva stands for the house's highest level of aging: at least two years in oak barrels, three more in the bottle. Typically, Tempranillo forms the backbone of the cuvée, supplemented by Graciano and Mazuelo.

In the glass, it shows the ripe notes of long aging: dried cherry, leather, tobacco, and a hint of vanilla from the barrel. The acidity remains lively and gives the wine length, the tannins are mature but present — a finish with spice and structure.

Drinking recommendation: 16–18 °C, decanted 30 minutes before serving. Goes well with leg of lamb, braised beef cheeks, or mature Manchego.

Marqués de Riscal

Herederos del Marqués de Riscal is one of the defining names of Spanish wine: founded in 1858 in Elciego, Rioja Alavesa, the house was the first to systematically bring Bordeaux cellar technology to the Rioja – advised by Château Lanessan cellar master Jean Pineau.

What began as a bold cultural transfer became an institution: the Reserva has been considered one of the best-known Rioja wines worldwide for around 150 years, and since 1972, Marqués de Riscal has shown in Rueda that Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc succeed just as convincingly as the classic Rioja red. More than 7 million bottles go to over 110 countries annually – tradition and vision in one house.
