Marqués de Cáceres Reserva

RIOJA qualified Designation of Origin

Marqués de Cáceres Reserva está elaborado a partir de las variedades Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta y Graciano. Las uvas provienen de una selección de parcelas de viñas viejas de entre 25 y 35 años de la Rioja Alta y la Rioja Alavesa. Las viñas tienen una producción muy baja, de unos 35HI/ha de promedio. El suelo donde está plantado el viñedo es de predominio arcilloso-calcáreo. La vendimia se realiza de forma completamente manual, parcela a parcela. Para su elaboración se estrujan y se despalillan los racimos para una fermentación a temperatura controlada que empieza a los 10ºC y acaba en los 28ºC. Tras este proceso se efectúa una larga maceración de 25 días con los hollejos, de este modo se potencia la estructura tánica y la extracción de aromas y color. Después de la vinificación el vino pasa una larga crianza de 20 meses en barricas de roble francés hendido con trasiegos cada 6 meses. Finalmente antes de poder disfrutarse Marqués de Cáceres Reserva pasa otros 2 años más de envejecimiento en botella, durante los cuales acaba de afinar todas sus cualidades.
