Marqués de Murrieta 170th Anniversary Historical Collection.
The story of the Marqués de Murrieta winery is inextricably intertwined with the history of Rioja wine. The winery's founder, the Marqués de Murrieta, imported production techniques into Spain from Bordeaux. In 1852 he produced his first wine in Logroño, moving into the Ygay Estate in the late 1870s. Located at the heart of La Rioja, the estate is home to Ygay Castle, headquarters of the Marqués de Murrieta wineries. The castle is surrounded by 300 hectares of vineyards.
To honour their 170th anniversary, the winery has put together this special gift set containing 6 consecutive vintages of the Marques de Murrieta Reserva, their flagship wine.
