"The reputation of Marqués de Murrieta, and its Ygay Estate, is as old as it is illustrious. Founded in Rioja in 1852 by Luciano de Murrieta y Garcia-Lemoine, who held the royal title of Marqués de Murrieta, Marqués de Murrieta was first established in Logroño and is the oldest operating winery in Rioja." - Jacob Dean
