Description
The 2022 Marqués de Riscal 1860 Tempranillo offers a deep ruby-red colour with pronounced aromas of ripe red and dark fruits—blackberries, plums, cherries—harmoniously layered with notes of vanilla, leather, tobacco, and cinnamon-spiced oak. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh, and velvety, with well‑integrated tannins and a smooth, lingering finish showcasing touches of licorice, oriental spices, and subtle cedar.
Food Pairing
This wine goes well with ham, cheeses which are not too mature, casseroles with mild sauces, stewed pulses and hotpots, poultry, red meat, roasts and grills.
