About this wine
Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva is a classic Rioja built around Tempranillo, with traditional blending details that may vary slightly by vintage. Expect ripe red and dark fruit, savoury spice and polished oak notes, while lively acidity keeps its full character balanced. The tannins are present yet usually well integrated, making it a natural table wine and a rewarding bottle to cellar for a few years.
