Marques De Riscal Reserva XR Special Release 2020 75cl

Marques De Riscal Reserva XR Special Release

For over a century, the winemakers at Marques de Riscal have carefully selected exceptional barrels that stood out for their unique character. These barrels were discreetly marked with the letters “XR,” a designation never meant for commercial release but used as an internal benchmark of excellence.

Inspired by this historic tradition, Marques de Riscal XR Special Release pays tribute to the craftsmanship and expertise that have defined one of Spain’s most renowned wineries.

Marques De Riscal Reserva XR Special Release is crafted from an exceptional vintage, this wine is deeply expressive and beautifully structured.

• A classic Rioja Reserva with Tempranillo at its core, complemented by a touch of Graciano
• Displays a rich black-cherry colour with impressive depth and vibrancy
• Complex nose with notes of liquorice, cinnamon, and black pepper, layered with elegant oak and ripe, concentrated fruit
• Smooth and well-balanced on the palate, with fine tannins and a persistent, balsamic-tinged finish

Marques de Riscal XR is ready to enjoy upon release, yet has the structure to develop beautifully with age. This refined and complex wine pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, including cured ham, mild cheeses, hearty casseroles, and roasted or grilled meats.
