Creators' opinion
Marqués de Cáceres Reserva Mágnum viste un tono rubí oscuro brillante. Intenso y complejo en nariz, ofrece multitud de sensaciones perfectamente enlazadas. Notas de frutas negras compotadas, suaves ecos lácteos, coco y moka se entremezclan sobre un fondo de madera y balsámico que se unen en una armoniosa estructura. La boca resulta sabrosa, arroja volumen con sus taninos fundidos y un ligero postgusto especiado que recuerda al eucalipto. Este rioja Reserva expresa la fruta golosa, matices especiados y revela la gran personalidad de su origen.
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.
