A tangible example of the elegance, solidity and consistency that characterise the Marqués de Murrieta winery. The wine showcases the incredible personality of the Ygay estate and encapsulates everything that happens there during a growing cycle.

2021
Grapes are mostly sourced from our Ygay Estate: 300 hectares of vineyards surrounding the winery in the southernmost point of Rioja Alta with mainly calcareous-clay soils. Altitude ranges from 320 to 485 meters.
From September 3 to 23, 2022.
Grapes are first de-stemmed and then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for 8 - 10 days, with constant skin contact. During fermentation pumping over and punching down operations are regularly carried out. These processes ensure both effective and gentle color and aroma extraction. Afterwards the solid parts of the grapes are squashed in a vertical press. This is a gentle process that extracts color and ripe tannins from the grapes skin.
25 months in 225-litre American oak barrels.
Lightly smoked hake kokotxa, Pil pil sauce, olive, and soy; galician green chickpeas, organic egg yolk, and white truffle; line-caught baby squid, roasted squid jus, and "redondilla" olive oil.
Grape varieties: 85% Tempranillo, 7% Mazuelo, 6% Graciano, 2% Garnacha.
Alcohol level: 14% abv.
Serving suggestions: Recommended service temperature: 13⁰C (55⁰F).

Tasting note
This new vintage of Marqués de Murrieta Reserva presents itself with immediate and refined elegance. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruit and liquorice stand out, harmonised with delicate hints of chocolate liqueur. On the palate, it displays a balanced, meaty and rounded profile, with a pleasant acidity that blends naturally with firm tannins, giving way to a long and persistent aftertaste.
