This wine was created in 1986 from an experimental production originating from a selection of old vines (+40 years old) with a low performance and an extraordinary quality. It has a very limited production, only from the best vintage years, which express the character of the vineyard, the soil and the grapes, combined in a harmonious ensemble.<\/p>\n
Bar\u00f3n de Chirel is a modern classic which showcases the identity, tradition and modernity of Rioja.<\/p>\n
The first vintage of Bar\u00f3n de Chirel, in 1986, was a response to the growing interest in fine quality Riojas. Since the outset, Marqu\u00e9s de Riscal has had very close ties with the winemaking methods of Bordeaux. At around that time Marqu\u00e9s de Riscal was working with a consultant named Professor Guy Guimberteau, successor to \u00c9mile Peynaud, who in his Bordeaux oenological training also had Francisco Hurtado de Am\u00e9zaga as a student. Later, in 1997, Paul Pontallier, director general of one of the five Bordeaux\u00a0premiers crus,<\/em>\u00a0Ch\u00e2teau Margaux, also joined. From this relationship sprang the idea of making an experimental wine which would revive the grandeur of those mythical M\u00e9doc Reservas brought right up to date with the technology and resources of the 20th<\/sup>\u00a0century.<\/p>\n Vines aged between 80 and 110 years\u2019 old were selected, with very low yields and better quality grapes. The wine was only made in the best vintages when the vines express the full character of the terroir; the \u201cNew Era of Rioja\u201d had just begun. Pioneer and precursor of what would later be known as \u201chigh expression wines\u201d. After the success when it first broke into a market hungry for fine quality wines, an endless procession of wines began to appear in the wake of Bar\u00f3n de Chirel, enjoying great prestige among the most discerning consumers.<\/p>\n Type: Reserva red wine.
