Robert Parker 93 pts -Â The best vintage of La Comtesse so far. It shows a brilliant combination between volume and freshness when tasting it. If you want to combine AlbariÃ±o grape with oak, this is the way to do it.

About the Winery

MarquÃ©s de MurrietaÂ´s foundation is linked to the origins of the Rioja wines since Luciano Murrieta produced in 1852 the first Rioja wine and was also the first one to export his wines. Luciano, appointed Marquis by the King Amadeo of Savoy thanks to his work in Rioja, travelled to Bordeaux to learn the winemaking techniques that he introduced later in Spain. He established the concept of â€œchÃ¢teauâ€ in the Ygay Estate where he built the emblematic Ygay Castle.
