About the Wine

Marqués de Riscal is one of the oldest Rioja wineries. Founded in Elciego (Álava) in 1858 by Guillermo Hurtado de Amézaga, the winery has been a reference point at both national and international levels. The winery itself is literally a work of art, designed and "Wrapped" by Frank Gehry. The winery also features a luxury hotel for guests.

The company produces its wines in two different bodegas located in Elciego (Álava) and Rueda (Valladolid). Marqués de Riscal exports 60% of its production, distributing to more than 80 countries. Marqués de Riscal wines have received the highest international accolades as well as numerous awards and mentions in the critical press.

Marqués de Riscal was the first non-French wine to win the diploma of honor of the Bordeaux Exhibition. This diploma was added to the wine’s label and to this day is represented on the wine bottles with pride. The golden net is used to protect the wine from forgery or tampering.

"Outstanding. Still tannic, youthful or slow to mature" ~93 PT Vintage, Robert Parker

Tasting Notes

100% Tempranillo.

Ruby red in color, clean and bright. On the nose and palate, it offers fresh, fruit-driven notes of red berries, complemented by subtle oak-derived aromas of coconut and vanilla.

Full of character, with a generous and lingering finish, this wine is a true reflection of the exceptional quality of its grapes — crafted to impress from the very first sip.
