After the acclaimed vintage of 2009 and the 2010 (the 2010 has been voted best Spanish Wine by Winespectator and voted best wine in the world) there is now probably one of the most beautiful and deepest Castillo Ygay - the 2011 Marques de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial - the top model of Marques de Murrieta. The Yga Gran Reserva Especial is only made if the harvest is of excellent quality. The Castillo Ygay is always made from grapes coming from the La Plana single vineyard, planted in 1950 and located on a plateau at the highest point of the Finca Ygay at 485 meters above sea level. After 2011, it will be a few years to wait and it is still unclear what the next year will be, but only 2014 or 2015.
