Marques de Riscal Vina Collada Rioja DOC 2017

Marques de Riscal is a flagship of Spanish winemaking. Founded in 1858 on the principle of a Bordeaux chateau, the estate became the first winery in the Rioja region to produce wines based on the experience of Bordeaux winemakers. It was here that Rioja first began aging wines in oak barrels and bottling them directly at the winery. As early as 1895, Marques de Riscal became the first non-French estate to receive an Honorary Diploma of Quality at the Bordeaux wine exhibition, ahead of such renowned chateaux as Latour, Lafite, and Margaux. In 2013, the estate was named the best winery in Europe by the prestigious magazine Wine Enthusiast. According to The Guardian, Marques de Riscal is among the top ten wineries in the world that every wine lover must visit, alongside Chateau Mouton Rothschild and Castello Banfi.
