Bodegas Mariscal was founded by the grandfather of the present day Mariscal brothers in 1913. From agricultural roots, the business has passed on from father to son until the brothers Mariscal formed the commercial business directed from the location where it is to be found today.

The ambition of the Mariscal Brothers was to be granted recognition of the guarantee of the "Denominación of Origen" for their wines and the region. It took ten years of constant struggle against the administration and the prejudices of the neighbouring growers to convince them that the "Denominación of Origen" was a necessity in order to protect and promote their vineyards. During this period some 300 hectares of Cencibel Red - the best variety of Cencibel grape - disappeared due to the influence of government grants.

Today they can say, with great satisfaction, that the "Denominación de Origen" was officially granted on the 4th of October 1996. This "Denominación de Origen Mondéjar" covers an area of 1.600 hectares of vineyards (corresponding to 80% of the Mondéjar region) and includes 14 villages. The region of Mondéjar can be found some 65 kilometres to the east of Madrid in the direction of Valencia. This area, known as the "Alcarria Baja", is part of Castilla la Mancha and enjoys a height of 720 metres above sea level which is ideal for the development of fine vineyards. The grape varieties which are cultivated are the red Cencibel or "Tempranillo", which covers 40% of the land area, followed by the Cabernet Sauvignon variety. Another white variety, Torrontes, is cultivated to produce the sweet "Mistela" wine liquor that is much appreciated with pastries and desserts.
