Marques de Murrieta : Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2012
Rioja - Red Wine -Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial de Marques de Murrieta is made exclusively with the best grapes from a 40 Hectare plot planted in 1950 at an altitude of 485m in the heart of Rioja Alta.The wine is perfectly balanced on the palate, elegant, splendid, refined, round, fat and silky, with the smooth tannins so characteristic of great Rioja wines. A wine that combines power and elegance.
Like all great Rioja wines, they are aged for 10 years at the Bodega before being offered for sale. This is a very great wine from the Rioja produced by the Bodega Marques de Murrieta.
This 2012 vintage of Castillo Ygay is a blend of 84% Tempranillo and 16% Mazuelo;
The wines were aged for 28 months in American oak barrels for the Tempranillo and French oak for the Mazuelo. After blending, the wines were kept for 13 months in concrete vats before bottling;
The 12bouteilles suggestion: Already 12 years old, the wine is ready to drink now, it will also age for many years in your cellar. Serve chilled at 16-18°C. We recommend decanting the bottle at least 3 hours before tasting. This wine goes well with all Spanish dishes, grilled meats and runny cheeses.
