very intriguing to me, slighly oxidized but nice, unique flavor components with some pear and vanilla

Winemaker's Notes:

Established in 1852, Murrieta are one of the oldest and most respected bodegas of Rioja. Their wines are made in a "classic" Rioja style and receive long ageing in barrel before release. Their wines are concentrated and long-lived, both red and white, and some - like the Gran Reserva "Castillo Ygay" - have become legendary amongst Rioja-lovers. Marqués de Murrieta have not stood back and stagnated however: Their 300 hectare estate now has Cabernet Sauvignon planted for their Dalmau blend which represents Murrieta’s avante-garde expression of Riojan terroir. This 100% Viura wine is a great match for smoked fish, duck liver, pates, cheeses and rice dishes. Serve between 14° and 15° C.
