The Verdejo grape at its best
Marques de Riscal Limousin Reserva is the answer to oak-aged white wines, based on the famous Verdejo grape. Verdejo is often described as a fresh and invigorating wine. There's nothing wrong with that; on the contrary, these refreshing wines put Rueda on the map. However, this grape also has the potential to undergo beautiful oak aging. Marques de Riscal's years of experience producing phenomenal wines led to the birth of Limousin Reserva. The Verdejo grapes grow on the most beautiful slopes Rueda has to offer. After being harvested by hand, the juice is aged on its own skins (sur lie) for approximately seven months. This adds some depth to the wine's strength and gives it a smoky character.Open a bottle of Limousin Reserva and enjoy!
