General Information
The quality of Marqués de Cáceres Verdejo 2020 is based on the exceptional vineyards the firm owns in Serrada (102 hectares) and La Seca (23 hectares), with poor, gravelly, sandy and in some cases brown soils. The grapes were harvested at night, when the temperature was cooler, to preserve their essence as fully as possible.
With a track record that dates back almost half a century, Bodegas Marqués de Cáceres is one of the best-known Rioja firms both in Spain and abroad. Although not part of the group of century-old Rioja firms, it’s carved out a position among the leading brands and enjoys an excellent international reputation. Marqués de Cáceres has also expanded into the Spanish region most famous for its white wines, Rueda, where it owns marvellous vineyards planted with the Verdejo, Sauvignon Blanc and Viura grape varieties.
Marqués de Cáceres Verdejo 2022 (D.O. Rueda) is ideal with steak tartare or seafood spaghetti with prawns and clams.
Creators' opinion
Elegant, subtle nose with fragrant aromas white fruits and fine citrus notes. Good attack and fullness on the palate, with lively, delicious fruity flavours that lend it balance, freshness, and a subtle, pleasantly lingering touch of grapefruit. It’s the perfect embodiment of the elegance and complexity we seek.
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.
