History and Presentation:

Familia Martínez Bujanda is made up of 5 wineries: Finca Valpiedra, Finca Antigua, Finca Montepedroso, Viña Bujanda and Cosecheros y Criadores. These wineries are very different from each other, but they have a common denominator: making wines from their own vineyards, located in privileged enclaves.

 

For generations, their philosophy has been based on excellence and innovation in all its facets: from the exhaustive and constant monitoring of the grapes in their vineyards to the glass.

 

The great tradition in the world of wine has led Familia Martínez Bujanda to seek out the best vineyards in each area, thus owning more than 200 hectares of vineyards in La Rioja, 127 to make the wines of Viña Bujanda and Finca Valpiedra, with 80 hectares associated with Grandes Pagos de España. Finca Antigua, a spectacular estate in La Mancha that has 421 hectares of vineyards in production and 500 hectares of scrubland. And Finca Montepedroso, which has 25 hectares of vineyards. These vineyards enjoy exceptional conditions due to their specific location, altitude, microclimate and stony soils, among others.

 

Familia Martínez Bujanda reaches more than 65 countries around the world, with a solid network of distributors and importers that allows them to make the personality of their wines known. In addition to the national market, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden and Brazil are some of the main international markets.

 

At Familia Martínez Bujanda each winery has its own identity:

 

- Finca Antigua is the result of innovation and creativity.

- Finca Valpiedra is a new way of understanding Rioja wines.

- Viña Bujanda, wines that update the Rioja tradition.

- Finca Montepedroso, the return to the most authentic Verdejo.

- Cosecheros y Criadores produces modern, versatile and excellent value for money wines from the Land of Castilla and wines from Spain.

FINCA ANTIGUA CRIANZA SYRAH 2019

D.O. La Mancha-VTCastilla

 

Finca Antigua was opened in 2003.

Located between the provinces of Cuenca and Toledo, this estate is the perfect platform to unleash imagination and creativity with plantations and plots of national and international varieties.

 

Exceptionality is the hallmark of the winery, as each plot is destined to the production of a different wine, thus guaranteeing a unique and inimitable flavour. One of the most creative wineries of the moment, Finca Antigua produces innovative, avant-garde and surprising wines. Wines that express the personality of a very peculiar terroir, different from the rest of the area.
The vineyard has exceptional qualities: loamy, calcareous soil and poor in organic matter. These characteristics, together with its high altitude, 900 metres, are conditions for the production of its wines.

 

Finca Antigua wines express the best characteristics of each type of grape, in the case of single-variety crianzas, and the most original complexity in the case of blends of several of them. They are surprising wines from an unexpected place. Finca Antigua cultivates all its vineyards organically.

 

- Viura Organic: aromatic, velvety and fresh, lemon yellow with green flashes.
- Tempranillo: clean and bright, with aromas of red fruits and yogurt. It is a wine with great volume and a long finish.
- Syrah: stands out for its aromatic intensity of violets and licorice, with mineral and ripe red fruit hints.
- Petit Verdot: clean and bright, with fruity aromas and vegetal notes.
- Zagal de Finca Antigua: Representing the most youthful and carefree side of the winery. It is made organically with Tempranillo grapes.
- Crianza Único: cherry-coloured with a blue rim, aged for 12 months in barrels and made from Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvingon, Merlot and Syrah.
- Reserva: unctuous and structured. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvingon and Syrah.
- Moscatel Orgánico: Made from the Moscatel Morisco variety. Obtained using the sun-dried technique. Lemon-yellow colour with frosted green highlights. Clean and bright. Intense aromas of stone fruits and white flowers. On the palate it is silky and fresh, with a long and tasty finish.

 

CLAVIS
This unique and surprising wine is produced from the Pico Garbanzo plot, located in the centre of the estate and with 4 hectares.
After 18 months of ageing in French oak barrels, Clavis is obtained, with great expressiveness, which transmits the colour, aromas and flavours of the exceptional plot from which it comes.
Its intense aromas of scrubland stand out, with notes of clove, pepper and toast perfectly blended with citrus touches.

ORANGE WINE
The orange face of the moon.
Vibrant texture, intriguing character, without ties. A slightly orange wine, with an amber hue, due to the maceration with its skins for 6 months until acquiring its characteristic orange tones.

D. O. Rueda

 

Familia Martínez Bujanda, following its expansion policy that seeks to find new areas where it can continue making wines, acquired a new estate in April 2008 where it can undertake a new winemaking challenge. This time, in Castilian-Leonese lands, more specifically in the Rueda Designation of Origin.

 

Familia Martínez Bujanda's new winery, Finca Montepedroso, follows the same philosophy as the previous ones: its own vineyards located in privileged enclaves, and careful and meticulous production. All of this is an essential starting point for achieving excellence and personality in its wines.
Finca Montepedroso is part of the exclusive and small association Grandes Pagos de España. It has 25 hectares of vineyards at 750 m of altitude, and its winery produces two white wines with 100% Verdejo character that recover the essence of the purest and most traditional Verdejos of the area.

 

- Finca Montepedroso is a 100% Verdejo wine, greenish yellow in colour with lemony hints. Very complex, on the nose it is explosive with notes of apricot, peach and fennel. On the palate it is fresh and round with a lot of volume.
- Montepedroso Enoteca, a limited edition wine that is only made in exceptional harvests. It is aged for 18 months in concrete eggs. And subsequently, it has remained 1 year in the bottle. It is a much more mineral and deep wine, the fresh fruit takes a backseat leaving the notes of smoke, limestone and incense in the foreground. On the palate it is denser, without losing tension and freshness.

 

D.O. Ca. Rioja

 

Finca Valpiedra is an 80-hectare estate located at an altitude of 420 metres. This winery was opened in 1999 and has successfully linked the beginning and end of the production cycle.

 

Finca Valpiedra has been part of the Grandes Pagos de España Association since its inception, an exclusive and small group of wineries distributed throughout the country that, with unique vineyards and their own personality, claim the authentic terroirs of the country.

 

A new way of understanding Rioja wines.
The exceptional conditions of this estate derive from its microclimate and type of soil formed by a layer of pebbles and limestone that give the wine its name. These stones retain heat and humidity, protecting and feeding the vine.

 

Finca Valpiedra produces modern, exclusive wines with extraordinary characteristics, from carefully selected fruit from the vineyards surrounding the winery. The harvest at Finca Valpiedra is manual, followed by a rigorous selection process. The grapes are transported to a minimum to avoid unwanted developments or oxidation diseases. The wine will then remain for 12-24 months in new French and American oak barrels.

 

Finca Valpiedra follows the classic Bordeaux style, with a single vineyard and four wines made exclusively from the estate's grapes:

 

- Finca Valpiedra, Reserva is an elegant wine, with an intense and complex colour, with aromas of black fruits and light balsamic notes after aging in new French oak barrels. A wine that expresses the personality and extraordinary conditions of this estate. Very elegant, complex and suggestive notes.

- Cantos de Valpiedra made with one of our most traditional varieties, Tempranillo, is a very balanced wine, with a smooth and seductive texture. Clean and crystalline, it has a medium-high colour intensity, where deep garnet tones predominate. With fruity aromas accompanied by intoxicating notes of oak wood that the barrel gives it, they make it a sweet, round wine, without edges like the edges of Valpiedra.

- Petra de Valpiedra, a 100% Garnacha wine that displays a wide range of fruity aromas with light notes of oak, toffee and vanilla that invite its consumption. One of its most outstanding characteristics is the long and intense flavour that it leaves in the mouth, which is combined with a fresh entrance, making it a wine that you want to try again.
- Finca Valpiedra Reserva Blanco, a rarity from the estate that is mainly made with the Viura variety, accompanied by Garnacha Blanca, Malvasía and Maturana Blanca. It stands out for its great intensity, with great complexity and elegance.

 

D.O. Ca. Rioja

 

Viña Bujanda has a total of 127 hectares spread over plots in Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta, including an important estate near Logroño, “El Seminario”.
