Marqués de Cáceres Reserva Red DOC Rioja 2018
Marqués de Cáceres Reserva Red DOC Rioja 2018 is a prestigious wine crafted from Tempranillo and other varieties. The 2018 vintage, born in a wet year with abundant rainfall in winter and spring, created optimal water reserves for a favorable vegetative cycle despite a hot and dry summer.
Fundamentally clayey-limestone, this wine originates from plots in Rioja Alta with ferrous subsoil and Rioja Alavesa with limestone origin. It's a selection of old vineyards with low yields, meticulously harvested by hand to ensure optimum timing.
With its sparkling dark ruby shade, this wine offers an intense and complex nose, combining ripe black fruit flavors, milky, coconut, and mocha notes against an oak and balsamic background. On the palate, it's flavorful and voluminous with mellow tannins and a subtle spicy finish revealing a hint of eucalyptus.
Expertly crafted by Fernando Costa, Emilio González & Manuel Iribarnegaray, the grapes undergo destemming with utmost care, followed by alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature and prolonged maceration with the skins. Malo-lactic fermentation occurs in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, with aging for 20 months in fine-grained French oak barrels.
This exceptional wine is released to the market after at least 2 years, in November 2023.
