Mysterious chalk markings on oak barrels

For almost a century, from 1869 to 1964, there was a tradition in the cellars of Jerez, Spain, whereby winemakers marked the barrels with chalk with the letters "XR" (Extra Reserva) when they found a barrel of wine with unique characteristics not found in other barrels. These "XR" wines, with their mysterious chalk markings, are hidden deep in the cellar and serve as a measure of a winemaker's quality.

Marquis Riggle's "XR"

Continuing this tradition, in the historic history of the Marqués de Riscal, these "winemaker's picks" are called Reserva Medoc and XR.

The Marqués de Riscal XR Reserva 2015 is the first time that the XR series has been put on sale. This special gift of ingenuity, a vintage-specific vintage, is a tribute to all the winemakers who have worked at the estate, starting with Jean Pinau. Thanks to their hard work at the Marqués de Riscal winery, which has created a glorious history.
