Marques de Murrieta Reserva, Rioja (2020)
The 2020 Vintage
Marqués de Murrieta is the founding father of Rioja, establishing a benchmark for traditional elegance that has endured since 1852. Cultivated entirely within their sprawling, 300-hectare Ygay Estate, this Reserva represents the ultimate intersection of deep historical roots and exacting modern viticulture.
The cellar regime demands extraordinary patience and an unwavering commitment to the estate's house style. A Tempranillo-dominant blend, supported by precise additions of Graciano, Mazuelo, and Garnacha, is matured for a full 21 months in American oak barrels. This extensive aging process masterfully integrates the vibrant, youthful fruit with layers of sophisticated spice, ensuring a harmonious red that is exceptionally polished long before it leaves the winery.
Pouring a glass reveals an aristocratic profile of wild strawberry, dark cherry, and a distinct balsamic complexity. It is an intelligently structured, incredibly silken wine that effortlessly elevates a traditional Sunday roast lamb or a deeply savoury mushroom wellington.
