sp0022_390

Tasting Notes

Exclusively produced in the best years of the single vineyard in which the vines are grown. Matured for 30 months in American oak barrels, and a further 36 months in the bottle give this wine a new depth, complexity and vivacity. A living legend of Rioja, destined to break records for its suprising vivacity of intense cherry colour which gives an amazing complexity. Its nose exhibits an aromatic intensity which seduces with red fruit, floral notes of truffles, incense and spicy touches. It caresses the palate with a satin texture. This Gran Reserva shows strength, an elegent bouquet, fruity intensity and impeccable balance.

About The Producer

Marques de Murrieta

  • Marques de Murrieta

    Established in 1852 by Luciano Francisco Ramón de Murrieta, this historic bodega was the first of the famous Rioja houses to be established and is still in existence today. As the original visionary and pioneer of the Rioja region, Luciano was made Marqués de Murrieta by Queen Isabel II. After the death of the Marqués in 1911, the bodega was taken over by the Olivares family and then in 1983 by D. Vicente Cebrián-Sagarriga, Count of Creixell. The new owner’s aim was to establish Bodegas Marqués de Murrieta among the best wineries in the world. His sudden death in 1996 left the vision only partly fulfilled. The baton was passed onto his son Vicente Dalmau who proceeded to revolutionise the entire estate, investing significantly in the vineyards and winery to take the bodega into the 21st century. The emphasis now is very much quality focused, with low yields in the vineyard and limited production in the winery. Truly hand-made, world-class wines from the oldest family owned estate in Rioja.
