Marqués de Riscal Limousin Gran Vino de Rueda

With its beauty, refinement, and typicity, Marqués de Riscal Limousin Gran Vino de Rueda represents the most outstanding qualities of the Verdejo grape, famed for its fragrance, fresh acidity, and ageing potential.

This wine is made from grapes from old bush vines, cultivated in the best gravel soils of the highest terraces of the district. The clusters are collected by hand one by one and taken to the winery in crates to avoid oxidation as far as possible. Aged in French-oak casks and barrels.

The result of this process is a white wine with a particularly beautiful style, displaying the potential and versatility of Verdejo, as well as the amazing potential of Rueda as one of the regions for classic Spanish white wine.
