Bodega Marques Del Silvo Gran Reserva Rioja 2019

Bodega Marques Del Silvo is one of the oldest wineries in Rioja, having been established in 1860. They are one of just a handful of Rioja producers who have been around for over a century and make exceptional wines.

Their vines are quite high altitude, sitting at 550 – 700m above sea level, allowing them to mesh warm climate concentration and intensity with fine boned structure and excellent fragrance. The special microclimate here is shaped by a Mediterranean influence from the valley combined with continental effects from the nearby Iberian System, giving the fruit excellent natural balance, good acidity, and the ability to age gracefully.

Older plantings of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano, many over 70 years old, form the backbone of the estate’s red wines. These old vines yield low but intensely expressive fruit that reveals both varietal purity and a compelling sense of place.
