Marqués de Cáceres is a family‑run Rioja estate founded in 1970 by Enrique Forner, who brought home the Bordeaux techniques he refined at Château Camensac and Château Larose‑Trintaudon. Rooted in Cenicero in Rioja Alta, the winery became a modernizing force in the region—reducing traditional oak aging, prioritizing fruit purity, and pioneering the use of high‑quality French oak. Today, under Cristina Forner’s leadership, Marqués de Cáceres continues to craft elegant, terroir‑driven wines sourced from vineyards across Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa, standing as one of Spain’s most recognized ambassadors for contemporary Rioja.
Marqués de Cáceres produces Deusa Nai Albariño, a Rías Baixas white that leans into freshness, purity, and Atlantic‑driven minerality. Sourced from sandy soils under a cool, high‑rainfall maritime climate, the wine shows pale straw color, bright citrus aromatics (grapefruit, lime), and subtle herbal notes reminiscent of bay leaf. On the palate it’s lively, gently acidic, and long‑finishing, with layers of citrus, stone fruit, and a clean mineral edge. Critics consistently highlight its vibrant acidity, orchard‑fruit character, and chalky lift, making it a polished, modern expression of Albariño.
