The wine Marqués de Cáceres Reserva is a benchmark of traditional Rioja.
This Spanish red wine is made from 90% Tempranillo and 10% other varieties, sourced from low-yielding vineyards with clay-limestone soils - located in Rioja Alta - and limestone soils - Rioja Alavesa.
Hand-picked and fully destemmed, the grapes were fermented under controlled temperature and went through a long maceration before undergoing malolactic fermentation in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks.
After that, this Reserva red wine was aged for 18-20 months in new, 2nd and 3rd year French oak barrels. It was racked every 5 months.
Finally, the red wine Marqués de Cáceres Reserva 2020 by bodega Marqués de Cáceres was kept for no less than 2 years before commercial release.
Pair this red wine from La Rioja with stews and roasted meat recipes.
