Marqués del Mar is a new design that incorporates a classical Spanish name that is easy to say and an image of the starfish, typical of the Mediterranean . It is the same range of wines as Ocho Fuentes but targeted at different markets.

REGION

VARIETALS 

Tempranillo Merlot (80%, 20%) – The grapes are gently pressed then fermented separately using traditional methods during 10 days at a temperature of between 25ºC and 28ºC. This red wine goes well with the majority of dishes – grilled meats, tapas and rice dishes.
