Reserva

Classic in style, this has wonderful balsamic, fine-grained oak with fresh red berry fruit and woody spice. It is well balanced and poised with appealing traditional Rioja Reserva character. The fruit for Marqués de Riscal wines is sourced from vineyards, all organic with chalky clay soils, over a wide area of 1,500ha across Rioja Alavesa, encompassing Elciego and neighbouring villages such as Leza, Laguardia and Villabuena. XR is a tirbute to the producer's previous master winemakers and is named for the chalk mark made on barrels selected for their special characteristics. It blends Tempranillo with 5% Graciano, and the 2021 was aged for 26 months in American oak barrels.
