Reserva

1970 Rioja Tempranillo, Grenache Noir, Carignan, Graciano

Marqués De Murrieta Reserva from the illustrious 1970 vintage is a stunning expression of Rioja's rich winemaking heritage. This red wine, composed of Tempranillo, Grenache Noir, Carignan, and Graciano, showcases a remarkable balance that elevates its character. The body is full, offering a luscious mouthfeel that is both satisfying and elegant. With a pronounced acidity, it captures the essence of vibrant fruit notes that dance on the palate, including dark berries and subtle spice. The tannins are firm yet beautifully integrated, adding structure without overshadowing the wine's fruit-forward charm. The wine is remarkably dry, allowing the intricate layers of flavor to shine through. Marqués De Murrieta Reserva is a testament to the art of viniculture, embodying both sophistication and a timeless appeal.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
