2022 Marqués de Cáceres Sauvignon Blanc

The nose leans tropical and herb-driven, with notes of lemongrass, Thai basil, papaya, and citrus, alongside a subtle hint of mint and ripe golden fruit. On the palate, it is crisp and medium-light in body, balancing bright acidity with a slightly rounded fruit profile, showing layers of citrus and tropical fruit alongside fresh green herbal tones. 

Marqués de Cáceres was founded in 1970 by Enrique Forner, whose family had previously been involved in wine production in Rioja before a period of exile in France during the mid-20th century. While in Bordeaux, the family gained experience that later influenced the style of the winery upon their return to Spain. Established in Cenicero, Rioja Alta, the project became an important part of Rioja’s modernization, blending traditional Spanish frameworks with techniques and perspectives shaped by Bordeaux, helping to redefine the region’s international image in the late 20th century.
