The Marqués de Murrieta Ygay Etiqueta Blanca 1970 is a notable white Rioja crafted predominantly from Viura sourced from the esteemed Ygay estate. The 1970 vintage is part of a distinguished era for Rioja, recognised for its capacity to produce wines with significant structure. This wine underwent a lengthy maturation in American oak barrels, imparting a nuanced oxidative quality. Its colour ranges from deep golden to amber, while the nose reveals complex aromas of dried fruits, nuts and subtle earthy notes, offering a long finish indicative of its age. Established by Luciano Murrieta in 1852, the estate has played a critical role in the evolution of Rioja winemaking practices.
