For the production of Antea Fermentado en Barrica 2025, Marqués de Cáceres uses old vines over 50 years of age, from the classic varieties viura and tempranillo blanco. These vines are located in Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa, specially selected for their high altitude, aiming to achieve a touch of mineral liveliness.
Marqués de Cáceres is among the greatest brands of Rioja and the world. The winery, founded in 1970, was a pioneer in the renewal of Rioja wines, introducing techniques such as the use of new barrels instead of old ones, and French oak instead of the traditional American oak. A large winery with exceptional international projection (its wines reach more than 130 countries), capable of producing wines as carefully crafted and select as those from an artisanal winery.
The fermentation of Antea Fermentado en Barrica 2025 in French oak barrels gives it body and complexity. An authorial Rioja white, with limited production, made to stand the test of time.

The winery

The origins of Marqués de Cáceres date back to the late 1960s, when the Valencian Enrique Forner decided to apply in Rioja the winemaking knowledge he had acquired in Bordeaux during his time at Château Camensac. To carry out his project, Forner sought the advice of the renowned oenologist Émile Peynaud.
The first measure taken by the Valencian was to convince the local grape growers from whom he purchased grapes that he only wanted healthy and ripe fruit. He then built a winery equipped with the most modern technology and revolutionized Rioja's winemaking tradition by implementing shorter aging periods than usual, using French oak barrels. Enrique Forner passed away in 2011, but today it is his daughter Cristina who, accompanied by a select group of professionals, keeps one of Spain's most prestigious Rioja wineries at the top.
In 2014, Marqués de Cáceres expanded its operations to the D.O. Rueda, acquiring 125 hectares of vineyards in La Seca and Serrada, planted with the verdejo and sauvignon blanc varieties. They also built a winery there. In 2019, they extended their reach to the D.O. Ribera del Duero, where they own the Finca La Capilla winery.
