The White Wine Marqués de Riscal Verdejo from Bodegas Marqués de Riscal presents us with this white wine from the D.O. Rueda, made from 100% Verdejo grape varieties.
The winery has 220 hectares of vineyards with an average age of 25 years, dedicated, among other things, to the planting of the native variety Verdejo. The Verdejo wines are of great character and personality, well adapted to the extreme conditions of the area, allowing the production of fresh white wines or barrel-fermented wines.
Marqués de Riscal Verdejo is one of the greatest exponents of Rueda wines. In its 2019 vintage, this wine becomes part of the winery's 100% organic wines, wines from sustainable agriculture and organic production. The wine's production with minimal possible intervention highlights the varietal purity and the character of the terroir of this area of the Duero.
Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine remains in contact with the lees in stainless steel tanks for 1 to 2 months. The lees that settle at the bottom of the tank are moved weekly with nitrogen (battonnage).
Optimal serving temperature: Between 8 and 10ºC.
The history of Bodegas Marqués de Riscal is the story of an innovative, pioneering company that is a benchmark in a continually transforming wine sector.
The winery was founded in 1858 by Guillermo Hurtado de Amézaga. In 1862, its first wines were bottled, making them the oldest bottled wines from Rioja.
A few years after its founding, the winery began to quickly win numerous awards, but one of the most important came in 1895, when Marqués de Riscal became the first non-French wine to win the Diploma of Honor at the Bordeaux Exhibition.
In 1972, Marqués de Riscal began producing the first white wines from Rueda, and in recent years, the winery has ventured to incorporate two new designations into the project, V.T. Castilla y León and D.O. Getariako Txakolina.
For those who want to explore the history of the winery from its founding to the present day with the opportunity to enjoy Marqués de Riscal wines, La Ciudad del Vino was inaugurated in 2006, which today features a hotel designed by the famous Canadian architect Frank O. Gehry.
