Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Reserva 2021 is a red blend from the Rioja region of Spain. The 2021 vintage provided ideal conditions for the grapes to develop a sophisticated profile, featuring notes of dark fruit, cedar and subtle balsamic spice, remaining a model for elegant, traditional Rioja that balances structural power with accessibility. The blend consists of 83% Tempranillo, 9% Graciano, 6% Mazuelo and 2% Garnacha, all of which are hand-picked and fermented in stainless steel before 20 months of oak ageing.

Their flagship wine comes from one of the finest vintages in recent times. The 2021 Marqués de Murrieta was previously called the Reserva and still qualifies as such, but it`s not included in the name now. It was produced with 86% Tempranillo, 8% Graciano, 4% Mazuelo and 2% Garnacha Tinta from their 300 hectares of vines in their Ygay estate on limestone and clay soils with alluvial influence. The grapes were picked between the 27th of September and the 15th of October, and each plot and variety was vinified separately in stainless steel, matured in American oak barrels for 26 months, then blended and kept in concrete for a few months until bottling, which was a longer élevage this year. It`s very spicy, peppery, with a combination of berry fruit and some incipient tertiary aromas, hints of forest floor and truffle. It`s very Rioja, with clout, elegance and freshness and the elegant tannins that are the signature of 2021. It comes in at 14.3% alcohol with a pH of 3.6, denoting ripeness and balance. It`s delicious, fresh and available. Bravo! This will be released in May 2025. 900,000 bottles produced. It was bottled from May to July 2024. - Luis Gutiérrez
