Marqués de Murrieta Castillo Ygay 2012 (3L)

Marqués de Murrieta is one of Spain's most historic bodegas and is recorded as the producer of the first Rioja, dating back to 1852. Today the estate continues that tradition, combining modern technology, long experience and Rioja tradition. The estate is run by the second generation, Vicente Dalmau Cebrián-Sagarriga and his sister Cristina Cebrián-Sagarriga, with María Vargas as technical lead. Its vineyards originate in Finca Ygay, a 300-hectare vineyard in the south of Rioja Alta around the bodega. Tim Atkin MW classifies Marqués de Murrieta as a 'First Growth' in Rioja.
