LA MARQUESA 2024

Winemaking and Ageing

Wine Identity

La Marquesa represents the link between past and present, paying tribute to the origin and history of Bodegas de la Marquesa. A wine that honours the family legacy and translates it into a modern interpretation, where fruit and freshness take centre stage. It is also our personal homage to La Marquesa (the second generation of the winery) and to all those women who have historically played a fundamental yet often invisible role in the Spanish wine world.

La Marquesa 2024 is a fruity, vibrant wine with a hint of crispness that makes it irresistible to enjoy anytime.

Winemaking and Ageing

Made from a careful selection of Tempranillo grapes from our own vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, grown on clay-limestone soils. Harvesting is carried out manually to ensure optimal selection of grapes at their ideal ripeness.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, with gentle macerations to preserve fruit expression and freshness. The wine then undergoes a short ageing period of 12 months in second-use oak barrels. It is bottled after a brief finishing period that guarantees freshness and vibrant fruit character.

Tasting

subtle liqueur-like nuances. In the background, a delicate spicy touch derived from its brief time in oak barrels.

– Palate: With a friendly and velvety entry, It expands on the palate with generous
tannins that lengthen its journey. The perfect balance between fresh fruit and its natural acidity culminates in a round, fresh, and very pleasant finish.
