The historic Rioja winery will bring the excellence of its wines to the Spanish airline’s Business Class and its VIP lounges.
Marqués de Murrieta, a pioneering Rioja winery since 1852 and one of the leading international names in Spanish wine, is reaching new heights of exclusivity in partnership with Iberia, which has selected its wines to form part of the Business Class experience for its passengers.
This collaboration also extends to the new Emerald Lounge Sorolla, the most exclusive VIP lounge recently opened by the airline in Terminal 4 at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport. A space reserved for its most select customers, where gastronomy, design and personalised service come together to offer an exceptional hospitality experience.
Two great Spanish brands, international leaders in their respective sectors, are thus joining forces in a shared commitment to excellence. This partnership takes on special significance as we approach 2027, the year in which Iberia will celebrate its centenary and Marqués de Murrieta will mark 175 years of history.
Marqués de Murrieta’s selection reinforces its association with experiences of the highest calibre. Present in over 100 countries, the historic winery has cemented its leading role on some of the most prestigious international stages, where its wines are chosen to accompany major sporting, cultural and social events.
Formula 1, the European Championship, the Champions League and the ATP Masters 1000 tournaments are just some of the major international events at which Marqués de Murrieta has been present, bringing the excellence of its wines to audiences around the world.
This new partnership also follows Marqués de Murrieta’s recognition as Europe’s best winery and third best in the world by the international edition of Forbes in its The World’s 50 Best Wineries 2025 ranking, a distinction that cements the international prestige of a winery which, for almost 175 years, has continued to promote Spain’s reputation amongst the world’s leading wine producers.
About MARQUÉS DE MURRIETA
The origins of Marqués de Murrieta are also the origins of Rioja. Don Luciano Murrieta, applying the knowledge he had learnt in Bordeaux, produced the first fine Rioja wine in 1852, striving for the highest quality with the aim of creating a wine that would stand the test of time. Seventy-three years later, in 1925, the Rioja DOCa – Spain’s oldest Designation of Origin – was officially established.
Since 1983, the Cebrián-Sagarriga family has been at the helm of Marqués de Murrieta. A family steeped in a tradition of excellence and daily dedication, which has led this historic winery to achieve great success, ranking amongst the wineries worldwide that have most frequently achieved 100 Parker points and securing accolades such as ‘World’s Best Wine’ for the 2010 Castillo Ygay from Wine Spectator, or ‘World’s Best Winery’ awarded by Great Wine Capitals.
Today, Marqués de Murrieta is an international benchmark for quality wines and a recognised ambassador for the ‘Made in Spain’ brand worldwide.
