THE STORY
FINCA ANTIGUA
The Martinez Bujanda family instantly fell in love with Finca Antigua when they first discovered it on their vast search for a great new addition to their wine-making portfolio which includes their original Rioja Bodega.
The attraction of this unique and beautiful single vineyard estate with many old vines was too strong and the resulting wines are equally seductive. The ability to produce terroir driven wines from single vineyards on the fantastic local loamy soil is unparalleled. With the Martinez Bujanda bringing many years of wine-making to this estate you can expect world-class delicious wines.
