🌟 A stately and soulful Rioja—mature, complex, and beautifully layered with time-honoured elegance and depth.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep brick red with garnet hues—rich, aged, and dignified in appearance.

👃 On the Nose:
Mature and complex, revealing aromas of stewed cherry, dried plum, and redcurrant. Subtle notes of leather, cedar, clove, and smoky oak unfold with a whisper of dried herbs and balsamic richness.

👅 On the Palate:
Full-bodied and rounded, with softening fruit, integrated tannins, and elegant acidity. The palate offers layers of dried red berries, spiced fig, and savoury oak, evolving into earthy nuances and a long, warming finish infused with sweet spice and tobacco.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with roast lamb, venison, rich stews, or mature cheeses. Its evolved structure and depth make it a fine match for slow-cooked, flavourful dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Already beautifully mature, but can be cellared for another 10–15+ years for added complexity and grace.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Marqués de Murrieta Gran Reserva is Rioja at its most majestic—patiently aged, gracefully evolved, and steeped in history. With its mellow fruit, savoury layers, and long, spice-laced finish, it’s a wine that speaks of legacy, craftsmanship, and the quiet power of time.
