Marques De Murrieta

This fabulous winery is one of the oldest and rightfully prestigious bodegas in La Rioja. Marqus de Murrieta was established in 1852. The winery has changed pedigreed hands over the years and is now owned and run by an ambitious and dynamic young count, Count of Creixell, Vicente Cebrian-Sagarriga, whose name graces the Dalmau wines. Murrieta is known for being one of the most traditional wineries in the region.

Wines from Marques De Murrieta

Producer: Marques De Murrieta
Wine: Marques de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 1978
Region: Rioja Country: Spain
Grape: Tempranillo / Aragonez
Tasting notes: A limited selection, the 1978 Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva reveals a medium ruby color with lightening at the edge, along with a perfume of fresh mushrooms intertwined with cedar, spice cake, red currants, and sweet cherries. Medium-bodied and elegant, with light tannin, noticeable acidity (a hint of volatile acid), and loads of character, it is not nearly as deep as its younger sibling, but it is a pretty, distinguished effort.
