Marques de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2010
Elevate your wine collection with this iconic 2010 Tempranillo from Rioja’s legendary Marques de Murrieta estate. Crafted from grapes grown at 485 meters in Rioja’s highest vineyards, this Gran Reserva is a masterclass in balance and tradition. With 99 points from James Suckling and 97 points from Wine Advocate, it’s a testament to Spain’s finest winemaking heritage.

Bursting with aromas of crushed berries, tobacco, and cassis, this wine evolves into floral notes of violet and figs, layered with hints of balsamic undertones. Its velvety texture is framed by precise oak aging—two years in French and American barrels followed by extended bottle aging—yielding a palate of dark chocolate, spice, and seamless tannins. While rooted in classic Rioja elegance, its modern precision offers both immediate enjoyment and decades of aging potential (drink through 2045).

Perfect for pairing with hearty stews, aged cheeses, or special occasions, this wine embodies the terroir of Rioja’s limestone soils and high-altitude mesas. A blend of Tempranillo (85%) and Mazuelo (15%), it combines power with finesse, celebrated by critics as one of Rioja’s greatest modern expressions. Whether you’re savoring it now orcellaring for future celebrations, this award-winning Gran Reserva is a statement of sophistication and timeless quality.

Experience the harmony of tradition and innovation in every sip—your ultimate choice for fine dining or luxury gifting.
