Marques de Vargas Gran Reserva

Marqués de Vargas Gran Reserva is only produced in years that promise greater longevity since its aging period is at least five years. VINTAGE DESCRIPTIONThe good climatology of the vintage has favored an excellent vegetative and sanitary state of the vineyard throughout the cycle. An exceptionally favorable September for quality has allowed us to obtain grapes with an intense fruit load, balanced and with elegant tannins as the base of a notable structure and with great capacity for aging. WINEMAKINGManual harvest in 12kg boxes, depending on the maturation and variety of each plot, the clusters enter refrigeration chambers within minutes of their collection. They remain there overnight at a temperature of 6-8ºC for manual selection the next day on the sorting table. The winemaking processes in the tanks have been adapted taking into account each type of soil. Use of indigenous yeasts from the different plots. For the aging process, the use of different types of oak has been determined by respect for the fruit and smoothness of the tannins in the final blend. At Marqués de Vargas they produce estate wines in one of the most important wine regions in the world. High-end references obtained from the pursuit of excellence, work they have defended since 1840 when the first vines were planted. With this unique vision we present this Gran Reserva, a tribute to Rioja history, to classic Rioja that also transmits the house’s knowledge and the potential of the Hacienda Pradolagar vineyards located in Rioja Alta.
