Decanter published a dedicated feature on Marqués de Riscal about the winery’s innovative approach to reviving old vines and adapting to climate change through organic and regenerative farming.
The article highlights how Marqués de Riscal is replanting younger vineyards with cuttings from old vines to preserve character and improve resilience. This practice, along with traditional pruning and organic certification, is helping the winery maintain quality while facing the pressures of a warming climate. The feature also spotlights three standout wines:
Marqués de Riscal Verdejo 100% Organic 2024 – Made from the native Verdejo variety, this white wine offers notes of fennel, aniseed, white flowers, and fresh grass, with a long, persistent finish.
Marqués de Riscal Reserva 2020 – A classic Rioja with expressive notes of liquorice, cinnamon, and black pepper, balanced by ripe fruit and 22 months of aging in American oak.
XR by Marqués de Riscal 2020 – A blend of Tempranillo and Graciano honoring historic cellar markings, this Rioja is aged for 25 months and shows firm structure, polished tannins, and easy drinkability.
