Marqués de Cáceres, a distinguished Rioja wine label, was founded in 1970 by Enrique Forner. Named after an aristocratic friend, the winery has played a crucial role in revitalising Rioja wines. Forner brought fresh ideas from his time in France. He blended them with traditional Spanish winemaking.
Based in Cenicero, La Rioja Alta, Marqués de Cáceres focuses on red wines. It makes particular use of the Tempranillo grape. They also produce wines from Garnacha and white wines from Viura, along with rosés. Their commitment is to quality, often choosing limited yields for more concentrated flavours. The range includes Crianza, aged in oak. It also has exceptional Reserva and Gran Reserva wines. These are only produced in select years for top quality.
Their Gran Reserva is known for its ageing potential. It spends years in oak and in bottles, leading to complex and elegant wines. These exemplify Rioja's capacity to produce world-class, long-lasting wines. Marqués de Cáceres also offers crisp and aromatic white wines and refreshing rosés.
Today, Marqués de Cáceres wines are available in over 130 countries. The winery offers tours and tastings, highlighting its role in Rioja's winemaking history. Their influence extends beyond their wines. They help shape Rioja's modern identity, showcasing quality and excellence globally. From their youthful Crianza to the aged Gran Reserva, Marqués de Cáceres offers a true taste of one of Spain's most esteemed wine-producing regions.
