TASTING NOTES: The 2011 Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial was produced with a blend of 84% Tempranillo and 16% Mazuelo (CariƱena) from a plot called La Plana that was planted in 1950 at 485 meters in altitude, the highest in the Ygay property. The grapes were picked between September 17 and 22, and the Mazuelo was later, on September 28. The bunches were destemmed and lightly crushed and put to ferment in stainless steel for 11 days with constant pump-overs and punch-downs. The Tempranillo matured for 28 months in American oak barrels and the Mazuelo for 28 months in French barriques. It's 14% alcohol and has a pH of 3.65 with 5.6 grams of acidity (measured in tartaric acid per liter). It's very tough to follow a vintage like 2010, and 2011 was not an easy year; the wine is possibly more powerful and concentrated but keeping the freshness, with a longer Ć©levage but very young and lively, with an elegant texture and mouthfeel, great balance and elegance. The wine feels lively, and it seems impossible that it has been in bottle for over six years. It has the classical profile with the effect of the American oak barrels, cigar box, cedar wood, sweet spices—aromatic, intoxicating, complex. This should age very slowly and for a very long time. 131,668 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2016. No 2013, 2014 or 2015 will be produced. They have a 2012, and they will jump from that to 2016. The 2012 will be released in late 2023 or early 2024 and the 2016 in 2027 or 2028. Finger crossed...

La Rioja

About La Rioja

Rioja, one of Spain's most prestigious wine regions, holds a revered status among oenophiles worldwide. Situated in the northern part of the country, it boasts a rich winemaking tradition that dates back centuries. Nestled along the banks of the Ebro River, Rioja's vineyards cover a diverse terrain, encompassing three distinct sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental. Each sub-region contributes unique terroirs and microclimates, shaping the character of the wines produced there.

Tempranillo stands as the undisputed star among Rioja's grape varieties, revered for its ability to express the region's essence with grace and complexity. Alongside Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache), Mazuelo (Carignan), and Graciano play significant supporting roles in the production of Rioja's renowned red wines. For whites, Viura takes center stage, accompanied by MalvasĆ­a and Garnacha Blanca, producing wines of elegance and distinction.

Rioja wines are classified based on their aging process, a hallmark of the region's winemaking tradition. From the youthful vibrancy of Rioja Joven to the refined complexity of Rioja Gran Reserva, each category offers a unique expression of Rioja's terroir and winemaking prowess. Whether enjoyed in their youthful exuberance or savored after years of careful aging, Rioja wines captivate the senses with their depth, balance, and versatility.

Rioja's continental climate, tempered by Atlantic influences, provides ideal conditions for grape cultivation, ensuring optimal ripening and flavor development. This unique climate, combined with the artistry of Rioja's winemakers, results in wines that are celebrated for their ability to complement a wide range of cuisines and occasions.
