Vinification of Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Rioja by Marqués de Riscal

This powerful red wine from Spain is made from the Tempranillo grape. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in La Rioja. The vines extend their roots deep into limestone soils here. After manual harvest, the grapes are immediately transferred to the winery. Here, they are selected and gently crushed. Subsequently, fermentation takes place in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. The vinification is followed by a maturation over 68 months in French oak barrels. After barrel aging, the wine undergoes extensive bottle aging, which makes this red wine even more complex.
