Marques del Atrio Blanco is made from 60 % Viura grapes, 20 % Verdejo and 20 % Sauvignon blanc. The grapes are carefully selected for the wine and are harvested at optimal maturity. After harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery, where they are de-stemmed, partially crushed and gently pressed before undergoing a temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 15-18 °C. After fermentation, the wine is bottled at the winery before being released for sale.

Wine house:

Marqués del Atrio is a proud family-owned company founded in the late 18th century in Rioja. The first bottled wine was launched here in 1965, and since then things have been going strong. Today, the company has over 30,000 square meters of land and has space in its facilities for more than 10,000 wine barrels and a tank capacity of 6 million liters of wine. All vinification, aging and bottling takes place on these lands. Marqués del Atrio buys a large part of the grapes for their wine from local farmers and therefore has a long and proud collaboration with the local community and is guaranteed grapes of the highest quality year after year.

The wines from Marqués del Atrio all originate from Spain's oldest wine region, Rioja. A wine region that can be dated back to 1925. Rioja is located in northern Spain approx. 300 km north of Madrid, where it is sheltered from the westerly wind from the Cantabrian mountains. The soil in the area is characterized by sand, limestone, clay and large round stones, which provide good drainage for the vines. The river Ebro and its tributaries make the area very fertile. This, together with the good climatic conditions, makes the area ideal for wine production.
