Marques de Tomares Rioja Reserva

Marques de Tomares is a family winery, whose beginnings date back to 1910 when “Grandpa D. Román Montaña” began to dedicate himself to the production and aging of wines. Mr Montaña laid the foundations with a focus on high-quality blending, and slow maturation in barrel and bottle; an approach which his great grandchildren continue to pursue.
