Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2011 Rioja, Spain, 75cl
Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2011
Rioja, Spain, 75cl
A majestic Rioja crafted from Tempranillo with a touch of Mazuelo, aged for nearly a decade in barrel and bottle before release. The bouquet is complex and refined, with layers of red cherry, plum and blackberry interwoven with cedar, tobacco, leather and spice. The palate is powerful yet elegant, combining concentrated fruit with fine tannins and vibrant acidity that carry through to a long, harmonious finish. Extended ageing adds depth and savoury nuance, ensuring both grandeur and longevity.
Castillo Ygay is produced by Marqués de Murrieta, one of Rioja’s most historic estates, founded in 1852. Only made in exceptional vintages, this flagship wine represents the pinnacle of traditional Rioja, marrying time-honoured craftsmanship with remarkable ageing potential. The 2011 release reaffirms its status as one of Spain’s greatest wines.
