Marqués de Cáceres Gran Reserva 2012

Family-run Marqués de Cáceres was established in the 1970s by Enrique Forner. Situated in the subregion of La Rioja Alta, its reputation for high quality wines now extends across more than 120 countries. Since the 2008 vintage, this Gran Reserva has received only 90+ scores from the world’s best critics. To make it, grapes are hand-harvested from vineyards 650 metres above sea level. The high altitude keeps freshness in the fruit - a very important element of the process, given that a Gran Reserva must be aged for a minimum of five years before release. Discover ripe and elegant notes of plum, strawberry, vanilla, toast and coffee. Pair its plush character with roast lamb and all the trimmings. In 2022, James Suckling awarded the 2015 vintage 94 points.
