About the Winery

Marqués de Riscal is one of Spain's oldest and most iconic wineries, founded in 1858 in Elciego (Álava), in the heart of Rioja Alavesa. Since its inception, it has been a pioneer in the modernization of Spanish wine, being the first winery in Rioja to produce Bordeaux-style wines and export them to the rest of Europe.

Its legacy combines innovation and tradition, with absolute respect for the identity of Rioja and a cosmopolitan vision that has made it a world reference. The winery boasts avant-garde architecture thanks to the City of Wine, a wine and tourism complex designed by architect Frank Gehry, which symbolizes the union of art, culture, and wine.

Marqués de Riscal's philosophy is based on the pursuit of excellence, working with select vineyards—many of them centuries old—that convey the authenticity of the Rioja terroir. The “XR” project was born as a tribute to a secret tradition at the winery: for years, Riscal's winemakers marked the most special vintages with the “XR” (Extra Reserva) designation, wines that were never released to the market… until now.

With this, Marqués de Riscal opens a hidden chapter of its history to the world, offering a wine of elegance, complexity, and memory that reflects more than a century and a half of winemaking mastery.
