Few names are as foundational to the history of Spanish wine as Marqués de Murrieta. Established in 1852, it is widely regarded as the birthplace of modern Rioja—an estate where tradition was first shaped into identity, and where that identity continues to evolve with quiet confidence.

Located at the heart of the Ygay Estate just outside Logroño, Marqués de Murrieta is more than a historic house—it is a living, breathing expression of what Rioja can be. The Finca Ygay surrounds the majestic 19th-century château, and spans over 300 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards. This single-estate model—rare in Rioja—ensures full control from vine to bottle, anchoring the wines firmly in place and purpose.

What sets Marqués de Murrieta apart is its ability to balance deep-rooted heritage with a forward-thinking spirit. Under the leadership of the Cebrián-Sagarriga family, the estate has undergone a thoughtful renaissance. The restoration of the Ygay winery and château, paired with precise, detail-driven winemaking, has elevated Murrieta’s status—not as a monument of the past, but as a benchmark for the present.

Craft, clarity, and consistency define the house style. Whether working with the traditional grape varieties of Rioja or refining aging techniques, every decision is shaped by the desire to honour the land while offering wines of character, elegance, and longevity.

Marqués de Murrieta is not bound by fashion or fleeting trends. It stands for something deeper: a legacy of excellence, carried forward with conviction, and rooted in one of the world’s great wine cultures.
