Tesco Classic Wines.
Marqués de Riscal is one of the oldest wineries in Rioja. It was founded in Elciego in the Basque Country of Northern Spain in 1858 by Guillermo Hurtado de Amézaga. Marqués de Riscal Reserva 2020 is a fine representation of their quality wines.
The grapes used for producing this wine come from vines of the Tempranillo and Graciano grapes. Tempranillo is a black grape producing full-bodied red wines with good aging characteristics. Graciano is mostly found in the Rioja region and is prized for its ability to add aroma and deep colour to blended wines.
Colour and aroma
Marqués de Riscal Reserva 2020 is a classic expression of the marriage of these two grape varieties. Its dark colour and aromas of vanilla and pepper from the grapes, and leather and tobacco from aging, make this wine appealing before even the first sip.
This is the perfect wine for enjoying with or without food. It offers an abundance of fruit and its balanced tannins and acid with a long finish make this a great choice for pairing with many dishes. It works in the winter with your hearty casseroles, but equally in the summer when simply-grilled meats from the BBQ are in order. Try with hard, well-flavoured cheeses too.
