Grown on the Ygay estate that surrounds the winery and aged for two years in American oak, it is a Tempranillo-led red of real depth and elegance, combining bright red fruit with gentle spice, silky tannins and the fresh acidity that helps the best Rioja age so gracefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarqués de Murrieta was founded in 1852 and is renowned for wines of depth, longevity and classical elegance, including the celebrated Castillo Ygay. The 300-hectare Ygay estate lies at the southern tip of Rioja Alta, with vineyards between 320 and 485 metres above sea level, giving a range of microclimates that adds layers of flavour and aroma to the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it’s made\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter de-stemming, the grapes ferment for eight to ten days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with gentle pump-overs and punching down to draw out colour and aroma without harsh tannin.
