Colour

Clean, clear and bright. Cherry color with garnet reflections. It has a high layer intensity. Very nice to see.

AROMA:

On the nose, it is pure expressiveness. The first contact with the glass we are presented the spicy notes, which include cinnamon, licorice and hints of black pepper. There is a complexity and very good concentration of ripe red and black fruit. It should be said that for lovers of Riojas without a lot of wood expression is a wine perfectly indicated, as the fruit helps mask the long aging in oak barrels.

TASTE:

Very fresh on the palate, with well integrated and pleasant tannins. With good body and structure, but extremely easy to drink. Long and persistent finish.

An excellent wine to accompany starters such as Iberian ham, semi-cured cheeses and dishes such as stews, legumes, game birds or grilled meats and roasts.

In Marqués de Riscal, there were wines from the wine cellar, within its Historic Reserve, such as the Medoc Reserve and the XR without becoming commercial names. In the style of Jerez foremen, the winemaker marked some of his barrels with a chalk with the word XR having found some special characteristics that were not found in others. This XR was never commercialized, but it was always a reference for the master winemaker. This custom lasted almost a century, between the harvests of 1869 and 1964. The XR 2015, its first vintage, is a tribute to all the master winemakers who, from Jean Pineau to the present day, have contributed to forging a part of the best history of Spanish wine in Marqués de Riscal.
