Castillo Ygay Tinto

Description

“This Castillo Ygay is, quite simply, a glorious embodiment of Rioja. Crafted from exceptional vintages and showcasing the unparalleled expertise of Marqués de Murrieta – a house founded in 1852 – it’s a truly remarkable testament to a century-long legacy. The foundation lies in the La Plana vineyard, a 40-hectare parcel planted in 1950, boasting a distinctive clay-chalky soil that imparts an unforgettable minerality. Fermented separately, the Tempranillo and Mazuelo grapes spend 34 months aging in both American and French oak barrels, amplifying the wine's complexity. A final 20-month maturation in concrete tanks further refines the character, preparing it for an elegant bottling. This wine pairs beautifully with the intense flavour of sautéed *boletus edulis* or the refined taste of *pargo* in lúcia-lima escabeche with Beluga caviar – a truly special experience deserving of careful appreciation.”
