Marqués de Murrieta, Europe’s best winery and third best in the world
The renowned Rioja winery Marqués de Murrieta has recently been named the Best Winery in Europe and the third best winery in the world in the international ranking “The World’s 50 Best Wineries”, compiled by sector experts and published by Forbes.
This distinction places among the global elite of winemaking and confirms a trajectory defined by excellence, consistency and a highly distinctive identity in all its wines.
Marqués de Murrieta winery
The history of this wine is closely linked to the origins of fine wine in Rioja. Since its foundation, the winery has committed to combining tradition with forward-looking vision, maintaining a very personal style over generations.
History of the winery
At its Ygay estate in the heart of Rioja, the winery has built a model based on full control of its own vineyards, meticulous grape selection and a winemaking process crafted to the highest standard. The result is wines that blend elegance, balance and ageing potential, remaining faithful to a classic character while continuously evolving.

Key characteristics of its wines
What sets these wines apart is not only their international recognition, but also a very precise and thoughtful approach to production:
Selection from their own vineyards: all grapes come from estate-owned plots, ensuring maximum control over quality and style.
Balance between tradition and modernity: classic Rioja methods are preserved while integrating precise, contemporary winemaking.
Elegance and structure: the wines show well-integrated fruit, balanced acidity and fine tannins, crafted to be enjoyed now or to evolve over time.
Careful ageing: work in the cellar and time in barrel provide aromatic complexity, depth and a refined, silky texture.
Together, these elements create wines that express territory, history and craftsmanship, with a recognisable personality in every vintage.
Corsini Hunts and the winery: a bond of excellence
At Corsini Hunts, we view the hunting experience as something that goes far beyond the day in the field. Every detail matters: the landscape, the organisation, the table and, of course, the wine shared after a day outdoors.
For this reason, these wines are served during the meals we offer at our partridge hunts in Spain events. It is not only about offering a great wine, but about accompanying each gathering with a winery that shares our values: tradition, quality and respect for the land.
This connection between Corsini Hunts and Marqués de Murrieta reflects a shared understanding of lifestyle: honouring origins, respecting history and ensuring that every guest enjoys a memorable experience—also in the glass.
