Marqués de Riscal, founded in 1860, is one of the oldest wineries in Rioja and one of the first to introduce French winemaking techniques. Remodeling and reconstruction of a new cellar and residence in the Rioja winery is presently being designed by Frank Gehry, best known for his Guggenheim Museum in nearby Bilbao. The design of this flamboyant building echoes that of the Bilbao Guggenheim and makes the building appear to be a complex series of interlocking boxes, draped in vivid fabrics flapping in a stiff breeze.
