o join La Barrica Club (or the Cask Club) is to become a member of a small, select group which fully appreciates Rioja Alavesa wine and its traditions and culture. Members can acquire (by reservation) the contents of a 225 litre Bordeaux Cask of red wine produced from the grapes grown in the Bodega’s vineyards in Villabuena, one of the best wine-making regions in Rioja Alavesa.

The wine is aged in the bodega itself until it is time for bottling. Subsequently, the bottles remain in the bodega's racks for a minimum of 6 months before being labelled and delivered to each member, an event that generally occurs at the end of the 4th year after harvest. Only a limited number of 100 casks from the best harvests (qualified as at least Good by the Designation of Origin Control Board) are aged for the members of the Cask Club.

Bodegas La Marquesa creates a special label for the Club, enabling each member to personalise, if they so wish, their own bottles with their name or other inscription. The rear Rioja Designation label certifies the wine as a crianza. To ensure that the members are given the opportunity to identify with the Bodega as much as possible, its doors are open to them at any time and they are invited to follow the aging process of their wine in situ and to use the Bodega's facilities for their business meetings or lunches.
