Founded in 1852, Marqués de Murrieta is a cornerstone of Rioja’s winemaking heritage. Inspired by the great châteaux of Bordeaux, Luciano de Murrieta was the first to introduce oak barrel aging in the region—shaping a style that would become timeless.
Marqués de Murrieta Rioja 2021 is sourced from the estate’s own Ygay vineyards, located at 320–485 meters above sea level. The blend includes Tempranillo (82%), Graciano (8%), Mazuelo (7%), and Garnacha (3%). Each variety is vinified separately and aged for 21 months in American oak barrels, followed by additional bottle aging to enhance complexity and depth.
This is a wine that proves Rioja can be both classic and contemporary. Discover a value-for-money gem from one of Spain’s legendary wineries.
