Marqués de Riscal City of Wine

A visit to this cathedral of wine is feast for all the senses. The first is sight, with a surprising building containing the new winery and a luxury hotel designed by Frank Gehry, which seem to float amongst the vineyards with the characteristic rolling, titanium roof.

The aim of the Canadian architect was to express movement, as if the building were “an animal galloping through the countryside”, and to coat his work with the colours of the winery: red, the colour of red wine, gold, like the mesh around the Riscal wine bottles, and silver, like the cap covering the bottle.
