Marques de Murrieta is one of Rioja's classic wineries and dates back to the 1800's. Over the past decade or so they have really put tremendous efforts into the health of their vineyards and the results have been impressive.
María Vargas is one of the highest-profile winemakers in Spain, and very much a part of Murrieta’s transformation. She joined the winery as assistant winemaker in 1995, and took over the top position in 2000. Vargas is a brilliant blender as well as a sensitive winemaker, adept at combining the different plots of Murrieta’s vineyards to make exceptional wines with character and quality. "The wine is always subjected to the personality of its origin, Ygay Estate, which is why the most radical modernization at Marqués de Murrieta has taken place in the vineyard."
