Marqués del Hueco Crianza is a classic Rioja blend of 80% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo and 10% Graciano, sourced from vineyards around Navarrete, Fuenmayor and Lapuebla. The combination of limestone, clay and alluvial soils at around 450 metres altitude creates a wine with both structure and freshness, with each grape playing its part: Tempranillo for fruit and elegance, Mazuelo for colour and acidity, and Graciano for liveliness.
The grapes are harvested in late September to early October and undergo a cold maceration of several days to best extract aromas and colour. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, followed by daily remontages for extra structure. The wine is then aged for 12 months in American oak barriques, adding complexity and spiciness.
In the glass, it shows a bright, intense ruby red colour. The nose opens with red fruits such as strawberry and cherry, complemented by caramel notes and spicy accents of pepper and vanilla. On the palate, it is supple and silky, with ripe tannins, a nice balance of acidity and a long, pleasant finish.
