What Marqués De Murrieta does

Marqués De Murrieta is a 173-year-old family-owned Spanish winery headquartered at the Castillo de Ygay estate in Logroño, La Rioja, operating under the Cebrián-Sagarriga family since 1983. The company produces ultra-premium wines from D.O.Ca. Rioja across a vertically integrated 300-hectare Finca Ygay vineyard (320-485m altitude, clay-limestone soils), with flagship labels including Marqués de Murrieta Reserva (25-month American oak aging), Gran Reserva, the icon Castillo Ygay Tinto Gran Reserva Especial (produced only in exceptional vintages from a single 40-hectare plot planted in 1950), Dalmau Reserva, Capellanía white, Primer Rosé (the only Spanish rosé made entirely from Mazuelo), and Castillo Ygay Blanco Gran Reserva Especial 1986 — the first Spanish dry white wine to achieve 100 Parker points. A second estate, Pazo de Barrantes (since 1511) in D.O. Rías Baixas, produces Albariño wines including Gran Vino Pazo Barrantes and the limited-production Gran Vino de Guarda La Comtesse (9,972 bottles). The company holds exclusive importation rights for Gosset Champagne (founded 1584, oldest Champagne house) in Spain, and operates a 25,000+ m² state-of-the-art winery complex inaugurated in 2021.

Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer channels (proprietary e-commerce at marquesdemurrieta.com, winery shops, telephone sales), the Club Murrieta free membership program offering priority allocations and sommelier service, enotourism at Castillo de Ygay and Pazo de Barrantes, professional distribution to luxury hospitality (Audi partnership, FIFA World Cup 2026 Mexico placement), exclusive Gosset distribution, and international export. The company serves luxury wine collectors, fine dining establishments, premium Albariño consumers, Champagne enthusiasts in Spain, and experiential wine tourism visitors. Operational infrastructure includes Casa Murrieta — a 1,000 m² private cultural space in Madrid's financial district opened in 2026 for international trade — alongside the Murrieta Art project featuring 25+ international artists. Sustainability credentials include ISO 14001:2015, FSSC 22000 v6, Biosphere Sustainable, and SWfCP certifications, plus a 430 kW photovoltaic solar park achieving 42% energy self-consumption. Forbes named Marqués de Murrieta the best winery in Europe and third best in the world in 2025.
