Description
In a nutshell:
A classic style of Rioja from one of the oldest and most respected Bodegas.
The lowdown:
Being among the oldest Rioja producers Murrieta focus on traditional style Rioja, but ally this with a modern approach to ensure their wines show at their best. The blend for the 2018 led with 80% Tempranillo with small amount of Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha. Extended barrel ageing and a focus on quality has resulted a subtle and elegant wine which is full of red cherry and coffee flavours, with a vein of warm spice running throughout. The finish is a masterclass in finesse with its sweet toasty notes.
The Producer:
Marques de Murrieta, one of Riojas oldest estates, has been making its mark since 1852. Theyre often credited as being a pioneer of the region, and it's easy to see why. Their approach is traditional, with wines aged in a mix of new and used American oak, creating a distinct and time-honoured style. The estate's dedication to quality and heritage shines through in every bottle.
When to drink:
It's a wine that's quite ready to drink on release by the bodega, but equally, capable of maturing further for a number of years yet. Among its best food pairings is roast spring lamb.
