CURIOSITIES
In Marqués de Riscal there were the so-called winemaker's wines within its Historical Reserve, such as Reserva Medoc or XR. The winemaker marked some of his barrels with the word "XR", the barrels with special characteristics that were not found in others. XR was never commercialized, although it was a reference for the cellar master. The custom lasted for nearly a century, from 1869 to 1964.
