Marqués de Riscal Sauvignon follows the same production process as Rueda Verdejo. After a period of cold maceration and after the extraction and clarification of the must, the slow fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of between 13ºC and 15ºC, to protect the primary aromas so peculiar to this variety.

The French Sauvignon Blanc variety, with which Marqués de Riscal makes this single-varietal, comes from the Loire region. It was introduced by Marqués de Riscal to Rueda in 1974 and today the winery owns 70 hectares of vineyards with an average age of over 25 years. It is currently one of the varieties authorised by the Rueda Designation of Origin thanks to its great adaptability to the environment and its ability to make white wines with great aromatic intensity, good acid balance and minerality. Marqués de Riscal Sauvignon follows the same production process as Rueda Verdejo. After a period of cold maceration and after the extraction and clarification of the must, the slow fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of between 13ºC and 15ºC, to protect the primary aromas so peculiar to this variety. Once fermentation is complete, the wine remains in contact with its fine lees, with the intention of increasing the sensation of volume in the mouth and improving its aging capacity.
