Marquis of Caceres Reserve Red Rioja
SKU:301004
Made exclusively in the best vintages with 90% Tempranillo and 10% other varieties, Marqués de Cáceres Reserva is a wine that comes from the selection of plots of old vines from Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa.
VINIFICATION
Clusters destemmed with the utmost care. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature. Prolonged maceration with the skins in order to extract more colour, aromas and tannic structure. Malolactic fermentation in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, all the wines are transferred to fine-grained French oak barrels. Subsequent racking every 6 months.
TOTAL TIME IN BARREL
20 months in French oak barrels, divided equally between new barrels and barrels aged one and two years.
AGING IN BOTTLE
At least 2 years before being placed on the market.
TASTING NOTES
Dark, dense ruby in colour. Refined and complex aroma with a hint of cherry, vanilla and soft toasted notes. Balanced on the palate, where silky, well-defined tannins combine with exquisite flavours to reveal a pleasant fullness. This Reserva follows firmly in the footsteps of the 2012 vintage, which was awarded with prestigious prizes. Serve at 17 ºC
