Description

It was as long ago as 1858 that Camilo Hurtado de Amézaga, Marqués de Riscal, diplomat and writer, started a winery in Rioja. He had been living in Bordeaux since 1836 so he decided to experiment with French methods and varieties on his estate at Elciego. He built the winery following the French model and techniques, being the first in Spain to use barriques. His wines soon started winning prizes, were the favourites of King Alfonso XII, and became so popular that, in order to avoid fakes, he had to invent the wire-netting that would make it impossible to extract the cork without breaking it.

A chance to try a Reserva Rioja that will be 30 years old in a few days!
