The origins of Marqués de Riscal
Founded in 1858, Marqués de Riscal was one of the first wineries in Rioja to use the Bordeaux method. French consultants were brought in to modernize winemaking techniques, leading to a style that made Rioja internationally recognizable.
This early focus on quality and export made Marqués de Riscal one of the first Spanish wineries to gain global recognition.
Rioja as a foundation
The winery is located in Elciego, in the Rioja Alavesa subregion. The combination of chalky soils, altitude, and Atlantic influences produces grapes with balance and freshness.
Rioja is known for its oak aging and distinct classifications such as Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva. Marqués de Riscal played a key role in defining and refining these styles.
Grapes and style
The core of Marqués de Riscal lies with Tempranillo , often supplemented with traditional Rioja grapes.
Characteristic of the wines are:
- ripe but controlled fruit
- clear structure
- integrated wood use
- balance between tradition and modernity
The style is recognisably Rioja, but with international precision.
Innovation and architecture
Besides wine, Marqués de Riscal is known for its progressive image. The winery combines historic cellars with modern architecture, strengthening its positioning as an iconic brand.
This combination of heritage and innovation typifies the house: respect for tradition, but always with an eye to the future.
