Marques De Riscal
Wines of the Herederos de Marqués de Riscal has always been a leading and pioneering company in the wine producing sector. In 1858 it became the first winery in the Rioja to produce wines following the Bordeaux method and in 1972 it was the first winery to promote the Rueda Designation of Origin where it produced its famous Marqués de Riscal white wines. Marqués de Riscal sells its products in over 70 countries and its wines have enjoyed the highest international distinctions as well as numerous awards and mentions in the media.
Description
Intense black-cherry colour with good depth of colour and hardly any signs of evolution. Very expressive aromas on the nose with notes of liquorice, cinnamon and black pepper, with just a subtle hint of the long cask-ageing, thanks to its great complexity and ripe, concentrated fruit. Fresh and easy to drink on the palate, good backbone and lovely, polished tannins. The long, persistent finish leaves gentle balsamic reminders of the finest quality.
Food Pairing
It works equally well with cheeses or cooked vegetables, neither too highly flavoured nor spicy. Roast poultry, grilled lamb, charcuterie and ham, and mushroom dishes are other splendid alternatives. We always aim for strong tasting dishes as well as mild ones, to suit the particular wine.
