Why Marqués de Murrieta?

Founded in the 1850s, Marqués de Murrieta has long been a benchmark for Rioja, pioneering the use of French winemaking techniques to enhance the complexity and longevity of Tempranillo.

At the heart of this estate lies Castillo Ygay, a wine made only in the finest vintages. Sourced from the 1950 plantings of the Ygay Estate, this iconic wine is aged for a decade before release. Its 2010 vintage earned Wine Spectator’s Wine of the Year in 2020, cementing its place as one of the world’s most exceptional wines.
