Marques de Murrieta - Castillo Ygay - Gran Reserva Especial - Rioja DOCA

Marques de Murrieta's Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial is a wine that is sure to impress even the most discerning of wine connoisseurs. This wine is made from a blend of Tempranillo and Mazuelo grapes, which are grown in the Rioja DOCA region of Spain. The wine is aged for 28 months in oak barrels, which gives it a complex and rich flavour profile.

The taste profile of this wine is characterised by its deep ruby colour, with aromas of black fruit, vanilla, and spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a smooth and velvety texture. The tannins are well-integrated, giving the wine a long and elegant finish.

The history of Marques de Murrieta dates back to 1852, when Luciano Murrieta established the winery in the Rioja region of Spain. Since then, the winery has been producing some of the finest wines in the world, using traditional winemaking techniques combined with modern technology.

This wine is perfect for special occasions, such as weddings, anniversaries, or birthdays. It pairs well with red meat dishes, such as steak or lamb, as well as with strong cheeses.

Tasting notes

97 Points - The wine Advocate

The 2011 Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial was produced with a blend of 84% Tempranillo and 16% Mazuelo (Cariñena) from a plot called La Plana that was planted in 1950 at 485 meters in altitude, the highest in the Ygay property.

The wine is possibly more powerful and concentrated but keeping the freshness, with a longer élevage but very young and lively, with an elegant texture and mouthfeel, great balance, and elegance.

The wine feels lively, and it seems impossible that it has been in bottle for over six years. It has the classical profile with the effect of the American oak barrels, cigar box, cedar wood, sweet spices—aromatic, intoxicating, complex. This should age very slowly and for a very long time.
