About this Item
Rioja Gran Reserva 2013
12 (1 x 12) 750ml
Marqués de Riscal, founded in 1858 at Elciego in the Rioja Alavesa, is one of the oldest and most celebrated wineries in the region and was the first non-French producer to win a Diploma of Honour at the Bordeaux Exposition, in 1895. Its Gran Reserva represents the traditional Rioja Alavesa style, a Tempranillo-led wine of elegance built on extended cask and bottle ageing and made to reward long cellaring. The 2013 came from a cooler, more challenging vintage that favoured a fresher, classically proportioned style.
