Notes - Notes - Marqués de Vargas was built in 1989 on the Hacienda Pradolagar Estate in Logroño and was the first project of Grupo Vinícola Marqués de Vargas. The winery, set in the middle of its own vineyards like a “chateâu”, is located in the heart of the Ebro Valley, in a region known as the "Los Tres Marqueses" or the “Three Marquis”. In this winery three premium single vineyard red wines are produced in limited production. This wine is a blend of 75% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo, 5% Garnacha Tinta and 10% other varieties from the 50 hectare Pradolagar Estate. Aged in 30% new American oak, 20% new French oak, 10% new Russian oak and 40% American / French / Russian oak, for 23 months, racked twice every 5 months, and then every 6 months. Deep, intense black cherry colour with violet rim. Powerful, complex aromas of leather and ripe fruit. Glorious structure, rich and powerful, concentrated and well-balanced, elegant tannins that add gamey, earthy notes to the ripe crushed berries. Ready for drinking now but has great potential for improvement in bottle.
