Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2011

Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2011 was chosen by Guía Peñín as the best Gran Reserva in Spain of its year.

The history of Marqués de Murrieta begins in the mid-19th century, when Luciano Murrieta y García-Lemoine, Marquis of Murrieta, decided to convert Riojan wine into a noble wine.

Preparation and aging

Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2011 is a blend of 86% Tempranillo and 14% Mazuelo. Manual harvest. The bunches are destemmed and gently crushed. Subsequently, the grapes ferment in stainless steel tanks, with temperature control. Vatting lasts approximately 11 days, during which daily pumping over and bazuqueo work is carried out to promote contact of the must with the skins and cause a slow and natural extraction of aromas and polyphenols.

It rests for 30 months in 225-liter American oak barrels, of which it spends a minimum of 10 months in new barrels. It rests in the bottle for a minimum of 36 months.
