Introduction:
The Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Reserva Finca Ygay is a benchmark Rioja that seamlessly bridges classic tradition with modern elegance. Crafted from estate-grown grapes on the historic Finca Ygay property, this wine delivers depth, harmony, and sophistication vintage after vintage.

Terrior:
Grown on the Finca Ygay estate in Rioja Alta, at elevations between 320 and 485 meters. The calcareous clay soils and continental-Mediterranean climate provide optimal ripening conditions, enhancing both concentration and freshness. The estate’s varied microclimates contribute to complexity and balance in the finished wine.

Appearance:
Brilliant garnet red with ruby highlights. Medium to deep in intensity, showing vibrancy and clarity in the glass.

Nose:
Elegant and layered, with aromas of ripe red cherry, blueberry, and raspberry compote. Accents of wild herbs—thyme, bay leaf, and rosemary—mingle with notes of vanilla, tobacco, sandalwood, and a gentle earthy nuance from oak aging.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and refined, with a supple core of red fruits and silky tannins. Flavors of ripe plum, cranberry, and dried cherry evolve alongside hints of sweet spice, cedar, and a savory minerality. The acidity is balanced and lively, keeping the wine fresh and poised.

Finish:
Long and graceful, with lingering notes of red fruit, toasted spice, and dried herbs. The finish is clean, elegant, and structured for aging.

Overall Impression:
A superb Reserva that reflects both place and pedigree. The 2020 vintage offers immediate pleasure but has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 8–10 years. A wine of finesse, character, and timeless Rioja appeal.
