Marquess of Riscal (Spanish: Marqués del Riscal) is a hereditary title in the peerage of Spain accompanied by the dignity of Grandee of Spain, bestowed on Baltasar Hurtado de Amézaga, lieutenant general governor of Málaga, distinguished in Spanish Flanders, by King Philip V on 27 April 1708.[2][3]
The title lends its name to the renowned winery Herederos del Marqués de Riscal, S.A., located in Elciego since being established by the 6th marquess there in the 19th century.
