MARQUES DE MURRIETA RIOJA RESERVA FINCA YGAY 2020

Marqués de Murrieta embodies the very essence of Rioja's winemaking heritage, dating back to 1852 when founder Luciano Murrieta produced the region's first wines after studying techniques in Bordeaux. Their flagship Reserva from the historic Finca Ygay estate—centered around the emblematic Ygay Castle—perfectly balances tradition and modernity under the stewardship of the Cebrián-Sagarriga family. This elegant blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano showcases the unique terroir of their 300-hectare estate, where continental climate and diverse soils create ideal growing conditions. The wine displays beautiful ripe fruit characteristics harmoniously balanced with refreshing acidity and supple roundness on the palate, complemented by subtle oak influence from careful aging—a timeless expression of Rioja that pairs beautifully with traditional Spanish cuisine and demonstrates why Marqués de Murrieta remains a privileged name in the wine world.
