Description of Baron de Chirel De Marques De Riscal

Barón de Chirel wine was born in 1986 as a result of an experimental elaboration from a selection of grapes from very old vines, between 80 and 110 years old, with very low yield and great quality. From the results of this trial comes what will be the precursor of what could be called, wines of the new era of Rioja. This wine is produced in a very limited way in only great vintages, where character of the vineyard, the soil and the variety are expressed within a harmonious whole. From the 1995 harvest onwards, Riscal selects grapes for this great wine by hand. Riscal is the first winery that introduces this system in Spain, marking a milestone in the elaboration of quality red wines.

Making notes

The Baron de Chirrel wine carries out the fermentation at a controlled 26th temperature, in Allier wooden tubs of small capacity. Next, it makes the malolactic fermentation in allier oak barrels of fine grain. The aging will last between 18 and 24 months, according to the characteristics of each vintage. Once this is finished, the wine is bottled, passing a tuning period not less than 2 years before going on the market.
