Marqués de Murrieta: Traditional Rioja Winery with Modern Sophistication
Global winner in Best of Wine Tourism’s Architecture & Landscape category, the story of Marqués de Murrieta, the tireless pursuit of perfection, is a tale of family, history, and a passion for wine. Founded in 1852 by Don Luciano Murrieta, the Riojan winery was created with the intention of producing a high-quality wine that would last over time and could be exported outside of Spain.
