Why We Chose This Wine

A blend of dry grown, high altitude, bush vine Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache) from vines that are at least 70 years old! This is complex, elegant and intense. Blackberry, liquorice, herbs, vanilla, cedar and a fine tannin finish. Exceptional length.

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.

The rich fruitiness goes beautifully with the down to earth flavours in tortilla and has a vibrancy that lightens the richness of the potato and egg, lifting it from comfort food into a delicious appetizer. The tortilla (pronounced ‘tor-tea-ya’) is served in most tapas bars throughout Spain and when done right, is potato heaven. The meltingly tender potato and onion, encased in eggy, olive oily goodness is mouth-wateringly irresistible and despite using only four ingredients, is a really impressive looking dish. It can be served at room temperature or cold and is perfect for appetizers, picnics or a light summer dinner. I have a tendency to overshare my exploits in the kitchen on social media and I think the tortilla has featured more often than photos of my children. The visual feast that is the simple Spanish potato omelette has caused plenty of virtual drooling from my friends – it photographs well and
