Product notes
The French variety Sauvignon Blanc, with which Marqués de Riscal makes this varietal white wine originally comes from the Loire Valley region. It was introduced in Rueda by Marqués de Riscal in 1974 and today the winery has 70 hectares from estate owned vineyards with an average age of over 25 years.
Production notes
From the 2018 vintage onwards, all of the winery´s own vineyards have been certified as organic. Marqués de Riscal are committed to making a wine with minimal intervention and the aim of enhancing the varietal purity reflecting the character of the terroir in their area of the Duero. Respect for the environment, for the indigenous fauna and the ecosystem makes the crop more sustainable and prolongs the life of the vines as a guarantee for the quality of the wines in the future.
