Próximo Rioja DOCa - Marqués de Riscal

With the Marqués de Riscal Próximo comes a first-class red wine in the glass. In this it offers a wonderfully bright ruby color. Held at a slight angle, the red wine glass reveals a charming garnet-red hue at the rims. This Spanish cuvée shows wonderfully expressive notes of guava, gallia melon, pineapple and mangoes in the glass. These are joined by hints of other fruits.

This red from Marqués de Riscal is ideal for all wine lovers who like it dry. However, it is never sparse or brittle, but round and smooth. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, the Próximo flatters the palate with a pleasing feel, without lacking freshness at the same time. The final of this mature red wine from the wine-growing region of La Rioja, more precisely from the Rioja DOCa, finally impresses with good reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the limestone-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Marqués de Riscal Próximo

This balanced red wine from Spain is vinified from the Cariñena, Graciano and Tempranillo grape varieties. In La Rioja, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of limestone. After the manual harvest, the grapes immediately enter the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn into bottles.
