Frank Gehry 2012

A wine destined to write some of the most beautiful pages of Rioja wine in the 21st century.  It takes its name from one of the greatest architects of modern times and the creator of the emblematic Hotel Marqués de Riscal.

The Frank Gehry Selección wine is the fruit of a careful selection of grapes from our estate vineyards of over 80 years of age. It is not a wine for collectors, rather pure hedonism. A wine which will live an eternity. The worthy heir to the very best that this house has given.  

A wine to caress the senses. The second glass is better than the first, when it has had a chance to breathe and opens up to reveal the quantity of nuances it displays. For long, slow drinking. A wine for friendship, a wine for calm moments. You mustn't be in a hurry to enjoy each sip.

A cherry-coloured wine, good depth of colour, almost opaque, with hardly any signs of evolution.

An intense complex nose, with notes of ripe, dark fruit, balsamic nuances and a slightly mineral base.

On the palate it is very well structured, with a fresh sensation and an outstanding concentration of polished tannins which give a warm, unctuous mouth-feel with a long, lingering finish in which you can discover the toasted notes from the cask-ageing in fine French oak.

A wine with tannin backbone and marked acidity augur well for good future bottle ageing, very much in the style of the Riscal wines from the beginning of the 20th century.

FOOD MATCHES This wine goes well with ham, medium-strength cheeses, casseroles which are not too spicy, pulse dishes, poultry, red meat, grilled and roast meat.
