✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Marques de Riscal, historically celebrated for pioneering modern Rioja, played an equally revolutionary role in Spain's white wine renaissance. In the early 1970s, guided by the legendary French enologist Emile Peynaud, the estate ventured into the high-altitude, gravel-rich soils of Castilla y Leon. Recognizing the terroir's immense potential, they introduced Sauvignon Blanc clones from the Loire Valley to the region. This wine is a brilliant expression of that pioneering spirit, crafted entirely from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The vines thrive under a harsh continental climate characterized by hot summer days and cool nights, which helps preserve the grape's vibrant natural acidity. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain its aromatic purity, the wine showcases intense aromas of fresh-cut grass, citrus, and tropical fruits, underpinned by a distinctive mineral backbone that pays homage to its stony soils.

🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten

Marqués de Riscal blev grundlagt i 1858 af Camilo Hurtado de Amézaga i den historiske by Elciego og er en af de ældste og mest nyskabende vingårde i Rioja. Huset revolutionerede spansk vinavl ved at introducere bordeaux-inspirerede vinifikationsmetoder og fadlagring, hvilket førte til international anerkendelse, da de i 1895 som det første ikke-franske vinhus modtog æresdiplomet ved Bordeaux-udstillingen. Ud over de legendariske, strukturerede Reserva- og Gran Reserva-vine på Tempranillo ekspanderede bodegaen i 1970'erne til Castilla y León, hvor den spillede en afgørende rolle i oprettelsen af Rueda-appellationen med stilskabende hvidvine på Verdejo og Sauvignon Blanc. I dag forener Marqués de Riscal klassisk vinhåndværk med avantgardistisk innovation, smukt personificeret ved deres ikoniske vineri tegnet af stjernearkitekten Frank Gehry.
