Ygay Etiqueta Blanca

1981 Rioja Red Blend

Marqués De Murrieta Ygay Etiqueta Blanca from the renowned Rioja region is an exquisite expression of a red blend, originating from the esteemed 1981 vintage. This wine showcases a captivating red hue that hints at its age. On the palate, it exudes a medium-bodied character, gracefully balancing its structure while providing an alluringly smooth texture. The acidity is bright, adding freshness and vibrancy to each sip, which perfectly complements the notable fruit intensity that features ripe red berries intertwined with hints of dark cherries. Tannins in this blend are firm yet well-integrated, contributing to its remarkable ageability and structure. Although it offers a delightful taste experience, this wine leans towards being dry, ensuring a sophisticated finish that lingers on the palate, inviting further exploration.
