The Marqués de Riscal Cuvée Reserva 2018 from the renowned Rioja region in Spain is a red wine that embodies the tradition and excellence associated with this historic wine-producing area. Primarily crafted from the Tempranillo grape, this wine may also include a blend of local varieties such as Graciano and Mazuelo, a hallmark of the Cuvée Reserva style. The 2018 vintage, with its careful vinification, reflects the meticulous standards of aging and barrel selection characteristic of the Reserva designation. The wine likely spent around one to two years in American oak barrels, contributing to its complex bouquet of dark fruits, cedar, and hints of vanilla.
La Rioja, situated in northern Spain, is one of the country's most prestigious wine regions. Known for its excellent climate, Rioja benefits from a combination of Mediterranean and continental influences, which provide ideal conditions for grape growing. The diverse terroir ranges from limestone-rich soils to clay and alluvial compositions, each contributing to the wine's complexity. The history of winemaking in Rioja is extensive, with a heritage that dates back to Roman times, and Marqués de Riscal itself is a historic winery that has been a pioneer in the production of high-quality wines since its establishment in 1858.
For pairing, the bold and structured nature of this Rioja makes it a perfect partner for hearty dishes. Consider matching it with roasted lamb or a rich beef stew, such as the traditional Spanish dish, "Cordero Asado" which highlights the region's flavours. Aged Manchego cheese would also complement this wine beautifully, enhancing its tannic structure and complex flavours.
To fully appreciate the depth and nuances of this wine, serve it at a temperature of 16-18°C. Allow it to breathe for a while in a decanter to open up its rich aromas and savoury palate. This will ensure you enjoy the Marqués de Riscal Cuvée Reserva 2018 at its finest.
