The 2020 Vintage

A warm, classic Mediterranean summer produced smaller berries with an incredibly concentrated flavor, while a beautifully stable autumn allowed for a perfectly timed harvest. This steady, gentle ripening has resulted in a 2020 vintage that is lighter, more elegant, and remarkably fine-boned, giving the drinker a silky texture and an effortless freshness that is a total joy to experience.

Marqués de Murrieta is the founding father of Rioja, establishing a benchmark for traditional elegance that has endured since 1852. Cultivated entirely within their sprawling, 300-hectare Ygay Estate, this Reserva represents the ultimate intersection of deep historical roots and exacting modern viticulture.

The cellar regime demands extraordinary patience and an unwavering commitment to the estate's house style. A Tempranillo-dominant blend, supported by precise additions of Graciano, Mazuelo, and Garnacha, is matured for a full 21 months in American oak barrels. This extensive aging process masterfully integrates the vibrant, youthful fruit with layers of sophisticated spice, ensuring a harmonious red that is exceptionally polished long before it leaves the winery.

Pouring a glass reveals an aristocratic profile of wild strawberry, dark cherry, and a distinct balsamic complexity. It is an intelligently structured, incredibly silken wine that effortlessly elevates a traditional Sunday roast lamb or a deeply savoury mushroom wellington.

The Fulham Wine Co Take

The signature American oak integration here is flawless, creating a silken texture that completely bypasses the harsh, woody tannins often found in lesser Riojas. It delivers a deeply satisfying, balsamic-laced profile that anchors a table with historic authority and effortless grace. This is the definitive blueprint for traditional Spanish elegance.

Marques de Murrieta

As the foundational stone of modern Rioja, Marqués de Murrieta has defined the pinnacle of Spanish winemaking royalty since 1852. Established by Don Luciano Murrieta, who famously introduced Bordeaux-inspired barrel maturation to the region, the estate combines nearly two centuries of history with a fiercely progressive technical outlook. Uniquely for a historic house of this scale, production is drawn entirely from their continuous 300-hectare Finca Ygay estate, allowing for total control from vineyard to bottle. Helmed by world-renowned winemaker María Vargas, the estate balances old-world patience with avant-garde gravity facilities to shape monumental, slow-evolving masterpieces. From their iconic, long-aged Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva to their texturally profound whites, Marqués de Murrieta delivers ultra-precise, structural icons built for decades of cellar development.
