The Marqués de Murrieta Rioja 2019 is a palpable example of the elegance, consistency, and regularity that define the renowned Marqués de Murrieta winery. This wine encapsulates the incredible personality of the Ygay Estate, perfectly reflecting the character of its terroir throughout the entire vegetative cycle.
Crafted primarily from Tempranillo, Mazuelo, Graciano, and Garnacha, each grape variety brings its own distinct personality to create a harmonious and balanced wine after careful barrel aging. Sourced mainly from the estate’s own vineyards, the grapes come from the 300-hectare Ygay Estate, located in the southernmost point of Rioja Alta. With vines planted in calcareous-clay soils at altitudes ranging from 320 to 485 meters, this vintage carries the unique essence of its environment.
On the palate, the 2019 Reserva reveals complex layers of dark cherry, plum, and earthy nuances, enhanced by subtle oak, ripe red berries, and warm spices. It pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roasted duck with foie gras ravioli, creamy aged Carnaroli rice with white truffle, or roasted hake with pil pil sauce, making it an ideal choice for gourmet dining.

The Wine Advocate –
“The 2019 Rioja Reserva, their flagship wine, comes from the 300 hectares of estate vineyards. Here, Tempranillo is the backbone, making up 87% of the wine in the low-yielding vintage of 2019 and complemented with 6% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo and 2% Garnacha. This is the second vintage in the new winery. It’s a balsamic and spicy version—a wine with muscle that they aged for a longer time in barrel, and it’s more traditional and serious. It’s ripe at 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.65 and 5.3 grams of acidity. They seek balance between fruit and oak, looking for freshness. A more powerful year.”
James Suckling –
“A precise and polished red with cherry, plum, slate, iron, and powdered earth. It’s medium- to full-bodied with sublime tannins that are beautifully integrated into the wine. It’s structured, yet the tannins are very silky. It’s curated and thoughtful. Two years in American oak (10% new) and 14 months in bottle. Sophisticated and very drinkable, but will age nicely. Drink or hold.”
