Marques De Riscal Reserva XR Special Release 2020 75cl
Marques De Riscal Reserva XR Special Release
Crafted in Spain’s Rioja Alavesa region, this special release pays tribute to a century-old tradition where Riscal’s winemakers discreetly marked exceptional barrels with “XR.” The wine is made from 95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano, grown on chalky clay soils at altitude, contributing freshness and structure.
Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures, followed by 24 months in American oak barrels and bottle ageing before release. This process enhances depth, balance and ageing potential, while preserving the wine’s expressive character and polished texture.
- Aromas of liquorice, cinnamon, black pepper and ripe black fruit
- Marqués de Riscal Reserva XR Special Release shows fine tannins, spice and elegant oak
- Long finish with balsamic lift and savoury detail
Pair with lamb chops, cured ham or grilled meats.
