Description
Barón de Chirel Reserva is a modern classic which showcases the identity, tradition and modernity of Rioja.
Marqués de Riscal has had very close ties with the winemaking methods of Bordeaux. At around that time Marqués de Riscal was working with a consultant named Professor Guy Guimberteau or Paul Pontallier, director general of one of the five Bordeaux premiers crus, Château Margaux, also joined. From this relationship sprang the idea of making an experimental wine which would revive the grandeur of those mythical Médoc Reservas brought right up to date with the technology and resources of the 20th century.
The wine was only made in the best vintages when the vines express the full character of the terroir; the "New Era of Rioja" had just begun.
