Marqués de Riscal Frank Gehry Selection Rioja 2019

Rioja

June 08, 2026 - A wine destined to write some of the most beautiful pages of Rioja wine in the 21st century. It takes its name from one of the greatest architects of modern times and the creator of the emblematic Hotel Marqués de Riscal. From vineyards of over 80 years, the Frank Gehry Selección is a wine of pure hedonism. A wine to caress the senses. The second glass is better than the first, when it has had a chance to breathe and opens up to reveal the quantity of nuances it displays. When it is made, production is between 3,000-5,000 bottles.

Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Rioja D.O.Ca. 2017

Rioja

June 08, 2026 - Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Gran Reserva is a wine which is only made in excellent vintages, originally created to mark the bodega’s 150th anniversary, as well as the history and winemaking traditions of the Rioja Alavesa. Grapes are harvested from some of the region’s oldest vineyard plots, with a minimum age of 80 years. These are generally venerable, low yielding vines which produce some of the highest quality fruit of the harvest. 150 Aniversario combines modernity and tradition; it is the ultimate and most genuine expression of the Rioja Alavesa.

Marqués de Riscal Baron de Chirel Rioja 2019

Rioja DOCa

June 08, 2026 - Born in 1986 from the Marqués de Riscal’s close relationship to some of the top winemakers in Bordeaux, the Barón de Chirel in many ways kicked off a new era of Rioja. Chosen from very old (80-110 years), low-yielding parcels of high-altitude Tempranillo and Cabernet vines around Elciego, these grapes undergo a meticulous process of selection before a special vinification process. The care that goes into this wine has cemented its prestige among discerning customers.
