Marqués de Murrieta

Marqués de Murrieta is a wine brand based at the Castillo de Ygay, whose history is tied to the origins of Rioja: Don Luciano Murrieta, applying techniques learned in Bordeaux, made the first Rioja wine in 1852 and also produced the first exported Rioja, sending that vintage to countries such as Mexico and Cuba. Since 1983 the Cebrián-Sagarriga family has been at the head of Marqués de Murrieta Estates & Wines. The estate also encompasses Pazo de Barrantes in the D.O. Rías Baixas, whose origin dates to the early 16th century and which is linked to the Cebrián-Sagarriga family. The brand's wines include Marqués de Murrieta, Marqués de Murrieta Gran Reserva, Castillo Ygay, Castillo Ygay Blanco Gran Reserva Especial, Dalmau, Capellanía and Primer Rosé.

The origin of the Marqués de Murrieta winery is also the origin of Rioja. Don Luciano Murrieta, applying techniques learned in Bordeaux, made the first Rioja wine in 1852, intending it to last over time. He was convinced from the start that a wine of Rioja quality with good ageing could be exported outside Spain, and he sent that mythical 1852 vintage to countries such as Mexico and Cuba, becoming the first exported Rioja. At the Castillo de Ygay, noble materials and the latest technologies combine, turning one of Europe's oldest buildings into a reference of modernity and balance. Due to its historical importance to the world of wine, its heritage and the architecture of the building itself, the Castillo de Ygay — and therefore the headquarters of Marqués de Murrieta — was declared a museum in 2019. Since 1983, the Cebrián-Sagarriga family has been at the head of Marqués de Murrieta Estates & Wines. The estate also includes Pazo de Barrantes, whose origin dates to the beginning of the 16th century and which has since then been linked to the Cebrián-Sagarriga family; the stone winery beside it was built in 1991 by Vicente Cebrián Sagarriga, X Conde de Creixell and father of the current owners, following the same philosophy as Marqués de Murrieta: to make wines that show the character and personality of the vineyard they come from.
