Marqués de Riscal Baron de Chirel Rioja 2020

Rioja DOCa

April 07, 2026 - Born in 1986 from the Marqués de Riscal’s close relationship to some of the top winemakers in Bordeaux, the Barón de Chirel in many ways kicked off a new era of Rioja. Chosen from very old (80-110 years), low-yielding parcels of high-altitude Tempranillo and Cabernet vines around Elciego, these grapes undergo a meticulous process of selection before a special vinification process. The care that goes into this wine has cemented its prestige among discerning customers.

Vinous - November 20, 2025 "The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino CastelGiocondo bursts from the glass with a vivid blend of crushed raspberries and cherries, a whiff of allspice and candied rose. It is elegant in…

Decanter - May 19, 2025 "A bold gran reserva with obvious but quality oak, chocolate and graphite notes and a stony freshness. It still displays layers of red berry and blueberry fruit with lots of…
