Marqués de Riscal Reserva
by Marqués de Riscal · Wine · Rioja, Spain
Marqués de Riscal Reserva is a Spanish red wine from the D.O. Ca. Rioja, made by Herederos del Marqués de Riscal, in Elciego.
The bodega was founded in 1858 by Guillermo Hurtado de Amézaga and bottled its first wines in 1862, which the house cites as the oldest bottled wine in Rioja. The bottle's golden mesh appeared in the early 20th century to combat counterfeiting.
It is made mainly with Tempranillo from vines planted before the 1970s on clay-limestone soils in Rioja Alavesa, with no more than 10% Graciano. Fermentation is temperature-controlled with maceration of up to 12 days; the wine spends about two years in American oak barrels and at least one year in bottle before release. The bodega recommends serving it between 16 °C and 18 °C.
