Marques de Caeres Gran Reserva 2019 - 750ml

Tasting Notes

Deep color with slightly reddish edges. A complex nose, where notes of age-appropriate development blend with a background of wild berry jam. A spicy base provides continuity on the palate, with fine wood notes and hints of pepper and clove. As it evolves in the glass, it gains expressiveness, demonstrating that the sensations described coexist in harmony and
contribute nuances that make the wine more interesting each time it is tasted again.
Powerful and sustained on the palate, with round, long tannins that give the wine
consistency and depth. Its sweet tannins combine substance with delicacy, leaving a
smooth and sweet finish where tertiary aromas predominate at retronasal level.

WInery Notes:

Special selection of old vines from Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa, aged between 65 and 85 years old. Very low yields of between 3,000 and 4,500 kg/ha.due to the age and limited vigour of the vines. Produced mainly with Tempranillo grapes from vineyards planted at
different altitudes in Cenicero, Elciego and Laguardia.

This vintage is blended with small quantities of red Garnacha and Graciano grapes. The red Garnacha grapes come exclusively from vineyards in Rioja Alta, located in Cenicero and Nájera, allowing us to achieve finesse, freshness as well as structure. The Graciano is mostly harvested in Elciego, where we obtain the unique character of
delicacy, "grace", liveliness and colour.
