The wine group Marqués de Vargas business project began in 1989 with the creation of the prestigious Marqués de Vargas Rioja. In later years, the Group has been acquiring wineries in other areas of great prestige and currently is present in 3 wine regions of Spain: Rioja, Riberadel Duero, and Rias Baixas. The group sells under the brand Marqués de Vargas (La Rioja), Conde San Cristobal (Ribera del Duero) and Pazo San Mauro (Rias Baixas), with wines from the own vineyards, selected “pagos “ and limited production. The 3 wineries have the concept “chateau”, with its vineyards around a total area of 180 hectares in which local varieties are planted in each area. For aging in barrels it is used French, American and Russian oak. The result is red wines produced with grapes from a vineyard, packaged without treatment, clarification and filtration. They are suitable for immediate consumption, and have great potential to improve in the bottle. The wines of the group stand out for the balance between traditional values and the most advanced technologies of modern oenology. Marqués de Vargas winery has achieved 95 Parker points.
