Description
Marqués de Riscal Frank Gehry Selection is much more than just a wine; it is an ode to tradition and the art of winemaking. This prestigious red wine, made by the iconic Marqués de Riscal winery, is named after the visionary architect Frank Gehry, creator of the winery's iconic hotel in Elciego, Álava. This bottled tribute comes from vineyards over 80 years old, located in the D.O. Ca. Rioja, where the chalky soils and a climate influenced by the Atlantic winds contribute to the concentration and richness of the grapes. Tempranillo, in its maximum expression, is the chosen variety 100%, standing out for its character and depth.
Winemaking
The winemaking process of Marqués de Riscal Frank Gehry Selection begins with a meticulously selected harvest, ensuring only the best grapes. These are fermented in oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, preceded by a 24-hour cold maceration to intensify the flavours. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new French barrels, where the wine rests for two years, adding complexity to every drop.
Taste
The first sip of Marqués de Riscal Frank Gehry Selection envelops the palate with a symphony of flavours. Notes of ripe black fruit and a subtle hint of liquorice stand out, giving way to hints of leather and a light touch of ink. The texture on the palate is velvety, with soft, caressing tannins and a moderate acidity that balances perfectly. It is a wine that manages to be powerful and refined at the same time, showing a solid structure without aggressiveness. Each glass invites you to discover more, evolving slowly in the glass and displaying an elegance that sustains over time.
This masterpiece is not to be rushed; it is a wine to be contemplated, shared and enjoyed in calm, recalling the history and innovation that have made it possible.
