In 1970, Enrique Forner founded Marqués de Cáceres, Unión Vitivinícola, S.A., a historic Alliance between a region (Cenicero, La Rioja Alta), an enterprising family, the best vine growers and vineyards in La Rioja, and a Bordeaux concept which revolutionised the production and business model. Enrique had one objective - to obtain the best wines. This obsession continues to be the leitmotiv of Cristina Forner, the third generation of this wine family.

This iconic red wine from Rioja is fruit driven but also structured. It is made by a family that has been devoted to the wine trade for five generations; the best vine growers and vineyards in La Rioja with a history in a Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes

Nice depth with a luminous sparkle. A bouquet of fine notes of toasted wood and spices, combined with red candied fruit on a licorice base. Full-bodied on the palate with a background of ripe fruit and smooth elegant tannins. A long silky aftertaste.

Food Pairing

Complements meat dishes with voluminous fruit and tannins. Try it with lamb chops or any lamb based stew.
