The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
A beautiful Rioja wine, made from Tempranillo and Graciano, with subtle oak aging. The taste is typically Rioja. Nothing unusual so far, as almost all Marques de Riscal wines from the Rioja region share these characteristics. No, Marques de Riscal Finca Torrea has something unique that other Marques de Riscal wines don't. Even more so; something unique in Rioja. Normally, Rioja wines are aged in American oak. However, the Marques de Riscal winemaker chose French oak for this Finca Torrea. This makes the wine firmer, more powerful, and more robust. A perfect winter wine that we wouldn't say no to.
Marques de Riscal Finca Torrea feels like a liquid perfection. An ultimate blend. Beautiful craftsmanship from the winemakers of Marques de Riscal. This Spanish wine is made from two top grape varieties from the Rioja region. The Graciano and Tempranillo complement each other perfectly. The Tempranillo is spicy and, without oak, also slightly fruity. The Graciano is thick, firm, plump, and powerful. Complex. These two grape varieties bring out the best in each other in this Marques de Riscal Finca Torrea.
The grapes for this top-quality wine are grown in the most traditional vineyards within the Rioja region. This allows for the authentic Rioja flavor in this wine. After harvest, the grapes are aged in French oak for a full 18 months. The wine then undergoes at least another year of bottle aging before leaving the Marques de Riscal cellars. The aroma and flavor of Marques de Riscal Finca Torrea are simply fantastic. The nose offers rounded aromas of black fruit, rich spices, and a lovely touch of vanilla. But the taste... every sip is a new treat, as you discover something different each time. First, fruits like blackberries and berries, then herbs and a hint of pepper. But taste further, and you'll be amazed: tobacco, vanilla, leather, and much more! Decant Marques de Riscal Finca Torrea an hour before serving for the best results!
