Description
2017 Marques de Caceres Verdejo
Marqués de Cáceres is a sizeable wine producer located in the Spanish town of Cenicero, with vineyards in the sub-regions of Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa. The vineyards are planted mainly to the red variety Tempranillo and produce a range of wines under the Rioja DOCa appellation, including white wines from predominantly Viura grapes. More than half of production is exported, and Marqués de Cáceres wines are present in more than 120 countries.
The estate was founded in 1970 by Enrique Forner, who came from a family that had been involved in the wine industry for much of the 20th Century. Forner was one of the first in Rioja to introduce the use of French oak barrels for aging.
The winery is still family-owned and operated, and is currently managed by Cristina Forner, Enrique’s daughter.
