£9.14
The Marqués de Riscal Próximo Rioja DOC 2022, 14% ABV, 0.75 l, is a modern and approachable Rioja red wine from Spain, produced by the long-established Marqués de Riscal winery. This Rioja DOC wine is made from a classic blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo grapes and reflects the region’s typical style. The grapes come exclusively from traditional, carefully selected vineyards with calcareous soils, which lend the wine structure and finesse. Hand-picking and temperature-controlled fermentation ensure precise vinification and preserve the fruity character of this Spanish red wine.
The wine is aged for around 4 months in American oak barrels, which lends it additional complexity and subtle spicy notes. With an alcohol content of 14% vol., a practical screw cap and ageing potential until around 2028, this Rioja red wine is a harmonious, fruit-forward and versatile accompaniment. The Próximo Rioja impresses with its elegant structure, soft tannins and great drinkability, which make it particularly approachable.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the Marqués de Riscal Próximo Rioja 2022 displays a clear ruby red colour. On the nose, aromas of pomegranate, elderberry jam and a delicate hint of cassis unfold, accompanied by subtle hints of choux pastry. On the palate, the wine is delicate with pronounced fruit, mild acidity and a very smooth mouthfeel. The finish is harmonious, approachable and long-lasting.
This Rioja DOC red wine from Spain pairs superbly with grilled meat, tapas, pasta, pizza or mild meat dishes. The Marqués de Riscal Próximo Rioja also pairs very well with Spanish specialities, BBQ dishes or mature cheeses, and is ideal for convivial evenings as well as a versatile everyday companion.
