Marqués de Riscal wines at Decanter London Fine Wine Experience
Having consolidated a unique portfolio of vineyards across Rioja, Castilla y León and Rueda, the historic winery brought eight stellar wines to the table at the Landmark Hotel London this November 2024.
With 350ha of organic vineyards in Rueda (for white wines), and 370ha in Rioja (for reds) and a further 100ha+ in conversion, Marqués de Riscal is one of Spain’s leading organic producers and is seen as a forerunner in regenerative agriculture. Voted the World’s Best Vineyard 2024, Marqués de Riscal has led the way in shaping the identity of Rioja ever since its founding 166 years ago.
Decanter’s London Fine Wine Encounter 2024 provided the perfect backdrop and audience to present eight of the winery’s most representative bottlings – from fresh whites to powerful Gran Reserva Riojas.

The head winemaker at Marqués de Riscal was a driving force in highlighting the potential of the Verdejo variety in Rueda – the first release of this wine being the 2023 label. Alc 13.1%
