Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 86% Tempranillo, 8% Graciano, 4% Mazuelo and 2% Garnacha.
Vineyard located in Finca Ygay, in Rioja Alta, with a total area of 300 hectares around the winery, mostly clay-calcareous soil with an altitude that ranges between 320 meters and 485 meters. To make the wine Marqués De Murrieta Reserva 2018 a manual harvest is carried out, the clusters are destemmed and gently crushed. The varieties ferment separately in stainless steel tanks, with temperature control. Vatting lasts 8-10 days during which pumping over and bazuqueos are carried out, to promote contact of the must with the skins and cause a slow and natural extraction of aromas and polyphenols. After fermentation, the solid parts of the grapes are pressed in vertical presses through a gentle and slow process that favors the extraction of the color and mature tannins that reside in the skins. It is aged for 21 months in 225-liter American oak barrels.
