Marques de Murrieta, Reserva Finca Ygay 2021

In the glass, this wine is an intense, deep cherry red and sparkles. The nose offers fresh, crisp aromas of ripe red fruit, spice, a touch of leather, and oaky notes. On the palate, the wine is powerful, with a good balance between ripe fruit and oaky notes. Powerful tannins. Elegant and full-bodied, everything perfectly balanced. It's no wonder all wine critics award this wine well over 90 points year after year.

Winemaker

Luciano Murrieta, later Marquès de Murrieta, is not only the founder of the Bodegas that bear his name, but is also considered the founder of the modern wine trade in Rioja. Luciano Murrieta was born in 1822 in what was then the Spanish province of Peru. After Peru gained independence, he ended up in London. There, he was surprised by the popularity of Bordeaux wines and was inspired by this style of winemaking, which involved aging the wines for a period in wooden barrels.
