Marques de Murrieta is a family run business, their vineyards stretch to almost 300 hectares in the southernmost part of the Spanish wine region of Rioja Alta.  Here the temperatures are higher than in the neighbouring sub-regions of La Rioja.  This, along with the fertility of the soil provides a high quality vine.  The wines are produced with 100% of their own grapes (one of the few Spanish wineries to do this).  Thus ensuring the high quality standards of winemaking from the vine, to the grape, to the wine, to the glass.

 plot called La Planta planted over 1500ft of elevation. It is made up of 93% Tempranillo and 7% Mazuelo chosen for its acidity. The wine is aged for 10 months in new American oak followed by 21 months in seasoned oak. It is held in bottle for 3-4 years prior to release. Deeply coloured, spicy, elegant and complex, the wine has great volume and grip as well as expectional length. It can be approached now but will easily have a 30-year life span” 94 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Issue 195 30/06/11

“Bright red. Fresh red berry and spice aromas suggest a higher percentage of garnacha. Suave, energetic red berry flavors stain the palate, nicely braced by tangy mineral and spice qualities. The finish repeats the red fruit note and hangs on tenaciously” Stephen Tanzer 91 Points
