Winemaker Notes
In our winery, we looked for a place in which the artist, Jull Dziamski, could demonstrate the way in which he understands his art. For this reason, we have opened a genuine museum, that "invites you to dream", like the artist says. He called it "the illusions museum", where at the same time; we can find an art Gallery, in which the artist has a permanent exposition.
At Marqués de Carrión we worship to our two passions; making and taking care of our wines to guarantee the best quality, in combination with the most absolute respect to the avant-garde art that represents our modern history. Art and avant-garde movement, tradition and technology linked under the same name.
Captivating and full of character, Verdejo grows with great success in Rueda, Spain and virtually nowhere else in Europe. It has become so trendy in Spain since the turn of the century that plantings have also increased tremendously. Somm Secret—Contrary to what some may think, it is actually not related to the Portugese variety with a very similar name, Verdelho. In fact, DNA profiling suggests it may be a sibling of Godello, another native of NW Spain.
Rueda is located along the banks of the Duero River in Spain’s Castilla y León region, just a 2-hour drive north of Madrid. While winemaking in this area goes back to the 12th century, it was in the 1980s that the region was granted Denominación de Origen (D.O.) status. Today, more than 70 wineries call Rueda home. This national favorite is the top-selling white wine in Spain.
Notable facts Rueda’s main grape variety, Verdejo, gets it distinct complexity from stressful growing conditions and mineral-rich soil. Think of Verdejo as a fuller-bodied and more aromatic Sauvignon Blanc. A lush and smooth character with perfectly balanced acidity means Rueda wines pair well with seafood, fresh salads and spicy food, but are also great on their own.
