THE WINERY Marquès de Riscal
The Marqués de Riscal Winery was founded in 1858, from the beginning its philosophy has been to produce quality wines, being today one of the most important and recognized in the world. Vinos de los Herederos del Marqués de Riscal continues to write its history in the 21st century with the creation of the City of Wine, a project that marks a before and after in the way of understanding the world of wine. The City of Wine is part of Project 2,000, the company's strategic plan, a bridge between the 19th and 21st centuries, since it represents a compromise between tradition and avant-garde: construction of a winery (San Vicente) with the most advanced technology, the investment in a new bottle rack, the installation of a laboratory for the control and analysis of wine, and in general, all the technological improvements to be up to date and guarantee the highest quality of the wines.
