Throughout its history, Marqués de Riscal has always been an innovative company, a pioneer and a benchmark for the wine sector which is continuously transforming.
We seek to make original wines that are fresh, elegant and easy to drink. Since our founding, we have had a clear exporting vocation. Today, we are present in more than 110 countries to which we export 65% of our production.
Inside our original cellar (built in 1860) is La Catedral, which houses a unique collection made up of bottles of all the vintages, produced by Marques de Riscal since the first vintage of 1862, up to the present day.
A complex set in around 100,000 m2 devoted to making, caring for and studying wine which offers you the chance to enjoy everything that wine and the people involved in winemaking stand for, in the purest and most natural way. In a nutshell, a different, profound experience of the culture of wine and its essence. At the heart of the City of Wine, what else but the oldest of the cellars of Marqués de Riscal, dating from 1858, as well as its later 1883 extension. Surrounded by extensive vineyards, the installations preserve this special charm from its origins, the manifest worship of this tiny gem, the mother of wine: the grape.
