Marques de Riscal is originally a true Rioja winery. In fact, it's the oldest, still-operating winery in the Rioja region. However, in 1972, Marques de Riscal decided to move to the then-unknown Rueda region, located 300 kilometers to the west. The result was Marques de Riscal Rueda Verdejo. Thanks to this wine, Rueda received Denominacion de Origen status in 1980, and Rueda is now one of the most renowned wine regions in Spain!
This white wine is made entirely from Verdejo grapes, grown in some of Rueda's finest vineyards. The aromatic grapes are harvested very early, perfectly preserving the wine's freshness. The result is sublime. The aroma is invigorating and infectious. You'll smell clear notes of citrus, but also hints of flowers, jasmine, and ripe exotic fruits like pineapple and papaya. Take a sip and be amazed by the ultimate purity that Marques de Riscal Rueda has to offer. A beautiful palette of citrus, exotic fruits, pear, and apple rolls across your tongue. A refreshing wine that is incredibly thirst-quenching. You'll want to take another sip of this gem again and again. Before you know it, the bottle is gone.
