Tasting note

Spicy and peppery, with berry fruit and the first hints of tertiary aromas, forest floor and truffle. The palate has clout, elegance and freshness, carried by the fine tannins that mark the 2021 vintage. Ripe yet balanced, this is classic Rioja from one of the finest recent vintages.

86% Tempranillo, 8% Graciano, 4% Mazuelo and 2% Garnacha from the Ygay Estate's limestone and clay soils. Each plot is vinified separately in stainless steel, aged for 26 months in American oak, then blended and rested in concrete before bottling.

Serve with slow-roast lamb, grilled ribeye or aged Manchego.

Producer

Marques de Murrieta

The origin of Marqués de Murrieta winery is also the origin of Rioja. Don Luciano Murrieta, applying techniques learned in Bordeaux, made the first Rioja wine in 1852, with the intention of sustaining it over time. Don Luciano’s vision was clear from the beginning: to create a fine Rioja wine with a great ageing potential and start exporting it outside of Spain. His 1852 vintage was the first Rioja to be exported.

Region

Rioja

Rioja, located in northern Spain, is one of the country’s most prestigious and renowned wine regions. The region benefits from a diverse climate with influences from both the Mediterranean and Atlantic, contributing to its varied wine styles.
Famous for its reds, primarily made from Tempranillo, which produce wines known for their depth, rich fruit flavours, and well-integrated oak characteristics, the region also produces notable blends incorporating Garnacha and Graciano. Rioja’s whites, including those from Viura and Malvasía, are celebrated for their freshness, aromatic complexity, and balanced acidity. Historically, Rioja has a winemaking tradition dating back to Roman times. The region gained prominence in the 19th century with the influence of French winemaking techniques, and today it is recognised for its commitment to both traditional and modern practices. Rioja's classification system, including Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva, reflects its dedication to quality and aging potential, making it a benchmark for Spanish wine.
