Marques De Caceres Reserva 2018 Rioja: A Premium Vintage Experience
Grape Varieties
Crafted with a blend of Tempranillo and other select varieties, Marques De Caceres Reserva 2018 Rioja offers a harmonious fusion of flavors.
2018 Vintage: Nature’s Bounty
In the backdrop of a wet year with abundant rainfall during winter and spring, the 2018 vintage blossomed, ensuring optimal water reserves. This laid the foundation for a favorable vegetative cycle, crucial for thriving amidst the subsequent hot and dry summer.
Soil: Essence of Terroir
Rooted in clayey-limestone soils, with plots nestled in Rioja Alta boasting ferrous subsoil and those in Rioja Alavesa bearing limestone origins, our grapes absorb the rich essence of their terroir.
Vineyards & Yields: Quality over Quantity
Meticulously selected from old vineyards in Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa, our grapes thrive under the careful curation of low yields, ensuring quality surpasses quantity with less than 5,000 kg/ha.
Harvesting: A Labor of Love
Handpicked with precision, each grape is harvested at its optimum moment, a testament to our dedication to excellence in every bottle.
Winemakers: Masters of Craft
Helmed by renowned winemakers Fernando Costa, Emilio González, and Manuel Iribarnegaray, each bottle reflects the expertise and passion of our artisans.
Vinification: Crafted to Perfection
From destemming with utmost care to prolonged maceration, every step is meticulously executed to extract deep color, elegant aromas, and a smooth, enveloping tannic structure. Malo-lactic fermentation in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks further enhances its complexity.
Total Time in Barrel: Aged to Perfection
Twenty months in French oak barrels, meticulously divided between new barrels and those aged one to two years, with regular racking every five months, imbues our wine with unparalleled depth and character.
Ageing in Bottle: A Mark of Distinction
A minimum of two years of ageing in the bottle before its market release ensures that each sip embodies the epitome of refinement.
