Winery offering tours, tastings, and unique Rioja wines
"Cristina Forner glides into the room in a leopard print, lime kimono complimenting her acclaimed personality; one as vivacious, elegant and robust as the variety of Rioja wines in the Marqués de Cáceres portfolio. In 1970, Forner’s father and uncle purchased a number of humble vineyards—less than one hectare each—in Rioja Alta. This is when he established Marqués de Cáceres. Almost 50 years later and the brand is still one of the most pronounced in the region. With Verdejo, Albariño, Viura and, most recently, Cava, all part of the Marqués de Cáceres portfolio now, Forner takes care to ensure each label boasts branding that depicts the wines’ individual characteristics; all part of Forner’s master plan to produce and classify wines with unique personalities—from their flavors on the palate to the bottles they’re presented in. As Forner continues to expand the portfolio, now exporting Marqués de Cáceres to over 140 countries, she also expands wine tourism in the region of Centicero, by bringing travelers to experience the Marqués de Cáceres bodega and to learn about their winemaking process." - Jillian Dara
