Tasting Notes

A wine of limited production from an old single vineyard where very low yields are grown. It reflects a much more modern facet of Marques de Murrieta, a rigorous selection of the grapes, meticulous extraction and aging in new French oak barrels for 23 months give this wine a harmonious and intense character.

Dalmau is a limited production wine, full of shades and intensity,
which shows the most modern side of our winery. It has a complex and velvety nose, with an explosion of aromas of wild fruits, dark chocolate and mineral notes, elegantly combined with the creamy toasting of its ageing in the new French oak barrels. An elegant and extraordinary wine which impresses in every way, with body and harmony, of magnificent balance which creates a powerful wine.

Food Pairing

Perfect pairing to duck breast or foie gras with blackberries.
Excellent with line-caught grilled squid or smoked foods such as eel with red wine poached pears or even bitter chocolate desserts with orange aromas and a hint of Brandy.

Established in 1852, Murrieta is one of the oldest and most respected bodegas in Rioja Alta. Their wines are concentrated and long-lived and some, like Castillo Ygay, have become legendary amongst wine-lovers. Marques de Murrieta has not stood back and stagnated however; their 300 hectare estate produces Dalmau, a blend which represents the cutting-edge of modern wine making.

Within the 300 hectare Ygay estate, surrounding the winery in the southern point of Rioja Alta wine area, there is an altitude difference of 165 metres between the lowest point at 320 metres and the highest peak at 485 metres.
