The soils: The origin of our wines

Alluvial soil made of similar proportions of sand, lime and clay

with larger size elements on the surface i.e. rocks and boulders,

that act as a protective layer from dehydration and over exposure

to sun. Vines from this type of soil produce well-structured and

concentrated wines with an emphasis of aromatic intensity,

showing mineral and fruity notes.

Loam soil with the same proportion of sand, lime and clay. The

wines from this type of soil are structured with a lot of color, flavor

and good acidity due to the low potassium content.

Stony, sand loam soils, with a top layer of small boulders and rocks.

The wines from this type of soil are fine, elegant and showing

fruity notes. In mouth they are fresh and vibrant.

Clay-calcareous and ferrous clay soils very appropriate for quality

vine growing, as they have a balanced structure (sands, limes and

clays). They are slightly alkaline, poor in organic material and with

a moderate water availability during the summer, supplying the

wines with unique characteristics.

Pilar and Carlos Martínez Bujanda, current owners of the Familia Martínez

Bujanda group, are the 4th generation of wine makers dedicated to vine

growing and developing high quality wines.

More than 120 years of vine growing and wine making

history guarantees the quality wines of Familia Martinez

Bujanda. This family group is formed by 4 different

wineries. All of them with a common denominator, the

philosophy to always vinify their wines from their own

vineyards. The constant search for innovation in the

styles of their wines has led Familia Martínez Bujanda

to acquire the best vineyards in each area, the essential

starting point for achieving the excellence and the

personality of their wines.

Rioja Wines:Tempranillo´s highest expression

Viña Bujanda owns 120 hectares of vineyards in different plots within the sub-regions of Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta, one of them near Logroño “El Seminario.”

Depending on the plot and where it is situated we can find clay lime soils (small vineyards with terraced structures) and ferrous clay soils (reddish and strong.)

The old age of the vineyards, between 20 and 60 years, and their superb locations, make it possible for them to count on the best quality of the Viura and Tempranillo grape varieties.

Viña Bujanda wines are Viura and Tempranillo’s highest expression. Viura and Tempranillo are the traditional grapes of the D.O.Ca Rioja. Following the market demand, they are wines of the highest quality yet with competitive prices.

Viña Bujanda

The wines of Viña Bujanda are fresh, with a good color and medium degree of alcohol,

based on Viura and Tempranillo grape varieties; always ensuring the constant quality and

innovation of the Familia Martínez Bujanda group.

The Viña Bujanda wine range is comprised of: A Young White, Red wines, a Semi-Crianza

with 90/120 days in barrel, a Crianza and a Reserva.

Viña Bujanda Viura: It shows flowery aromas, with a fresh mouthfeel and long finish.

Viña Bujanda Tempranillo: Medium-high intensity. Its aromas of black and red fruits

show up, while the palate is medium bodied with food friendly acidity.

complex wine. The palate consists of fresh strawberries and spice that age into flavors of

rich cherry and tobacco with a long finish.

Viña Bujanda Reserva: Medium intensity, deep purple with garnet highlights, this wine

shows spicy aromas of blueberries, leather, mocha and cocao. On the palate, it shows

round tannins, crisp acidity, and balanced body.

A new way ofunderstanding wines from Rioja

In the best area of the appellation D.O.Ca. Rioja, on a spectacular bend of the River Ebro lies Finca Valpiedra; one of Spain’s great terroirs. The stony soil of this 80 hectares. single vineyard estate holds the key to the quality of this wine.

At Finca Valpiedra the grapes are hand-picked followed by a strict selection process. After vinification the wines will age in French and American oak casks. As a unique single-estate Rioja producer with a rare geography, Finca Valpiedra is the only Rioja member of the prestigious Grandes Pagos de España organization.

Cantos de Valpiedra

Finca Valpiedra

Vinified exclusively with one of their most traditional varieties,

Tempranillo.

After 12 months of aging in French and American oak casks,

Cantos de Valpiedra stands out for its balance and its smooth and

seductive feel.

Cantos de Valpiedra presents a deep garnet core with blue highlights

around the rim. The aromatics of fresh cut Iris and sun-ripened

blackberries and black cherries are a testament to the gentle

handling of estate fruit and expert winemaking. The pure red and

black fruit nose is accompanied by intoxicating hints of vanilla and

clove coming from 12 months in French and American oak which

adds finesse and structure to this elegant medium-bodied wine.

22-24 months aging in French oak casks for a wine vinified with

Tempranillo, Graciano and Maturana Tinta gives Finca Valpiedra a

deep, red cherry color and garnet rim, with violet glints.

Intense and powerful aromas with hints of black fruit jams, white

chocolate, plums and spices. The oak, with the fruit, is very well

integrated, lending aromas of cedar and spices from the new

French oak. Very elegant, complex and suggestive.

A very powerful pass through the mouth with fresh fruit flavor.

The initial mouthfeel has a lot of backbone with no sharp edges,

rounded, with velvety and pleasant tannins, showing its finesse.

The wine has well balanced acidity with the alcohol and a long

finish with hints of earthiness.

Surprising, innovative, creative, Crianza wines from La Mancha

When the Martinez Bujanda family finally discovered Finca Antigua, they were certain that they had found a terroir that would allow them to express their creativity in the vinification of wines.

This vineyard has given them the freedom to innovate with new grape varieties and new styles of wine, and to continue in the tradition of vinifying exclusively from their own vineyards that are located in privileged enclaves. Finca Antigua classifies its land as an estate divided into small single vineyards. Each plot is tended individually and vinified separately. The philosophy behind Finca Antigua’s wines is clear: to obtain wines that reflect their unique high altitude location and terroir and are consisitent from year to year. (The vineyards are 900 meters above sea level —2700 ft.)

Doing the extraordinary is the winery’s signature, in that every plot is destined for making a different wine while guaranteeing a unique and incomparable style.

Crianzas

This range enhances the personality of each of the varieties

(Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Viura, Garnacha) challenging

prestigious areas inside and outside of Spain.

Finca Antigua Viura, vinified of a very modern system of vinification

with long macerations, aging over lees and in bottle, is an aromatic,

unctuous and fresh wine.

The range of red wines, all under the “Crianza“ qualification, is

meant to show the real characteristics for each grape variety, after

aging in oak from 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of wine,

will provide complexity and longevity without glossing over the

true character of each grape. Known for their elegant fruitiness,

color, full bodied and persistence tastes.

Our new estate white wine (D.O.Rueda)

Familia Martínez Bujanda’s newest winery follows the same philosophy as those before it; to have their own vineyard located in a privileged enclave with a meticulous and careful vinification process. All this is more than necessary to reach the excellence and personality in their wines.

This winery has 25 hectares of vineyards at 750 meters high in altitude. This high altitude, combined with Rueda’s gravelly, nutrient-poor soil provides an ideal environment for preserving acidity and producing fresh and complex whites. The family vinifies each Verdejo plot independently based on soil type and age of the vine. This project reflects the Verdejo grape expression in a very special soil and climate: Finca Montepedroso.

The most authentic Verdejo

FincaMontepedroso

This wine is made from 100 percent estate-grown Verdejo that is

meticulously hand-harvested at night, keeping the grapes cool, as

they would otherwise be affected by the region’s typical daytime

heat. Fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to

preserve freshness, this Verdejo is then aged sur lie for five months

with weekly batonnage to provide additional depth and complexity.

Finca Montepedroso is a fresh yet intense wine, showcasing the

true varietal character of the Verdejo grape. A greenish yellow color

with lemon glints.

Clean aromatic ensemble, with high intensity. This wine features

notes of apricot, peach, fennel, green almond shell, and anise, with

hints of fresh-cut hay, smoke, and minerality. On the palate, it is

velvety with excellent volume, structure, and acidity.
