Marqués de Cáceres Red wine
Marqués de Cáceres Gran Reserva 2015 is a luxurious red wine that embodies the rich traditions of Rioja, crafted from a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes. With an alcohol content of 14%, this Grand Reserve is a testament to the dedication of Unión Vitivinícola in producing exceptional wines.
The vinification process is meticulous: the grapes are carefully crushed and destemmed, followed by controlled alcoholic fermentation that begins at a cool 10ºC and gradually rises to 28ºC. To enhance its color, aroma, and tannic structure, the wine undergoes an extended maceration period of up to 30 days. After fermentation, malolactic fermentation takes place either in new French oak barrels or in stainless steel tanks, depending on the batch. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 24 to 26 months, with careful monitoring through racking every six months, before being bottled for a minimum of four years prior to release.
Visually, this wine reveals a deep ruby color with hints of brick-red around the rim. Its bouquet is a captivating combination of spices, dark fruits, cedar, and cocoa, showcasing an impressive complexity. On the palate, Marqués de Cáceres Gran Reserva delivers intense, velvety flavors with a remarkable volume and structure, making each sip a delightful experience.
This exquisite red wine pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as meat in sauce or ragout, grilled lamb, and spiced stews. It also complements well-aged cheeses and tenderloin with foie gras. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a fine wine, Marqués de Cáceres Gran Reserva 2015 is sure to impress. Experience the elegance and sophistication that this wine has to offer.
