Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Rioja Reserva, their flagship wine, comes from the 300 hectares of estate vineyards. Here, Tempranillo is the backbone, making up 87% of the wine in the low-yielding vintage of 2019 and complemented with 6% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo and 2% Garnacha. This is the second vintage in the new winery. It’s a balsamic and spicy version—a wine with muscle that they aged for a longer time in barrel, and it's more traditional and serious. It's ripe at 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.65 and 5.3 grams of acidity. They seek balance between fruit and oak, looking for freshness. A more powerful year.

Description
Marqués de Murrieta Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha tinta, Mazuelo and Graciano grapes from the vineyards of the Finca Ygay in the D.O.Ca. La Rioja.
The vineyards surrounding the winery were planted between 1950 and 2000 in an area of 300 hectares, located at an altitude between 320 and 485 metres above sea level.
These vineyards are located on clay-limestone, sandy-loam, gravelly, clay-loam, stony or clay-ferrous soils, among others.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand. Once in the winery, after destemming and gently crushing the bunches, the varieties are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks.
At the end of the fermentation process, the solid parts of the grapes are pressed in vertical presses to obtain a greater extraction of the colour and ripe tannins that reside in the skins. Finally, Marqués de Murrieta Reserva is aged for 16 months in American oak barrels and 24 months in the bottle.
Taste
Marqués de Murrieta Reserva is juicy and rich on the palate. Its tannins go unnoticed due to its perfect integration and its bright acidity. It is a red wine that transports us to the traditional Rioja.
A blend of classicism and modernity.
Marqués de Murrieta Reserva is a red wine produced by Bodegas Marqués de Murrieta, from the vineyards located in Finca Ygay, in La Rioja Alta.
This fantastic wine is perfect to accompany roasts, roast pork, ham, semi-cured cheeses, baked fish, cod, game stews and grilled red meats, among others.
