MARQUES DE MURRIETA | RESERVA 2021

Product Sheet – Marqués de Murrieta Reserva 2021

Marqués de Murrieta Reserva 2021 is the pure essence of Riojan elegance, a wine that combines centuries-old tradition with a contemporary interpretation of balance, finesse, and authenticity. Born in the historic vineyards of Finca Ygay, at the gates of Logroño, where stone, wind, and vines have been telling the same story for over 170 years.

Sourced from selected plots with clay-limestone soils, with iron veins and pebbles, which provide freshness, structure, and character. The harvest is manual, with selection of bunches in the vineyard and on the sorting table. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts, followed by aging for 24 months in American oak barrels, where the wine refines, gains depth, and develops its serene and majestic elegance.

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby red color with garnet rim. On the nose, it is refined, intense, and complex, with aromas of ripe red fruit—cherry, raspberry, redcurrant—notes of pepper, clove, vanilla, cocoa, tobacco, and leather, all enveloped in an elegant balsamic and mineral background. On the palate, it is silky, harmonious, and fresh, with mature tannins, great balance, and a long, persistent, and elegant finish where fruit and aging merge in perfect harmony.

Pairing

Perfect for roasted meats, baked lamb, grilled ribeye steak, traditional stews, aged cheeses, Iberian cured meats, and hearty dishes. A wine that calls for time, conversation, and celebration.

Marqués de Murrieta Reserva 2021 is the voice of Riojan history, a hymn to balance, landscape, and patience. A glass that breathes nobility, tradition, and beauty, where time is always an ally.
