The Marqués de Riscal Cuvée Reserva 2016 is a stunning example of the classic Rioja style, made primarily from Tempranillo grapes, with possible additions of Graciano and Mazuelo. With the 2016 vintage, this wine is produced in one of the most renowned wine regions in Spain: Rioja. Known for its firm yet supple structure, this red wine showcases a deep ruby-red colour with notes of blackberry, cherry, and hints of vanilla and leather—thanks to its ageing in American oak barrels. The combination of ripe fruits and subtle oak influences gives this Reserva a balanced and elegant structure.
Rioja, one of the oldest and most picturesque wine regions in Spain, is renowned for its diverse microclimates and soils, varying from clay limestone to alluvial and ferrous clay. The semi-continental climate of Rioja, with its long summers and cool nights, allows for a gradual ripening of the grapes, thereby enhancing the complexity and depth of the wines produced here. The region has a rich history of winemaking going back hundreds of years, with Marqués de Riscal being one of the pioneers of the modern winemaking techniques in Rioja.
To fully enjoy this Rioja, consider pairing it with traditional Spanish dishes such as lamb or beef stew, or a rich rabbit paella. It also beautifully complements aged Manchego cheese or roasted vegetables, where its structure will harmonise with the savoury and umami flavours of the dishes. For a more international pairing, try it with grilled lamb chops, pasta with mushroom sauce, or duck breast.
For optimal tasting, serve the Marqués de Riscal Cuvée Reserva 2016 at a temperature of 16-18°C. Allow the wine to breathe for about 30 minutes before serving to fully appreciate its bouquet and complexity. Enjoy the enduring elegance that this classic Rioja brings to the table.
