1987 Marques de Caceres Rioja Gran Reserva
1987 Marques de Caceres Rioja Gran Reserva Spicy, rich, tasty and complex Rioja Reserva from a great Spanish vintage! Attractive, deep garnet red color. Its intense bouquet combines notes of blackberries, sweet almonds, and vanilla spice with a slight depth of cocunut. Rich, full and fleshy in the mouth with delicious, well-integrated tannins. Full of aromas and flavors, this wine is powerful but elegant at the same time.
Tempranillo forms the base of the blend for the majority of the wines in this category, with Garnacha (Grenache), Mazuelo (Carignan) and Graciano making up the balance.
In 1970, Enrique Forner founded Marqués de Cáceres Unión Vitivinícola S.A., a historic alliance of growers in the village of Cenicero in the Rioja Alta subregion of Rioja. The enterprising Forner family has been devoted to the wine trade for five generations. Their search for the best vine growers and vineyards in Rioja and the introduction of a Bordeaux concept revolutionized the production and business model of the region. They work with one single objective: producing the highest quality wines. Today this obsession continues to be the leitmotif of Cristina Forner, the fifth generation of this distinguished wine family.
