In 1889, Joaquin Martínez Bujanda first began to grow grapes in the La Rioja region of Spain. Nearly 100 years later, the Bujanda family expanded their vineyards and began construction of what today is known as Bodegas Valdemar.

Today, with over 125 years of winemaking experience and five generations of family at the helm, Bodegas Valdemar provides the utmost quality to each of their wines.

Unusually for Rioja, all Bodegas Valdemar wines are sourced from their very own estate vineyards – located in all three sub-regions of Rioja – giving them unrivalled control over the quality of grapes at every level. The range of wines makes the most of this consistency and flexibility, from unoaked Rioja’s bursting with flavour, to dense, complex rarities.

Tasting Notes from Pinto Wines

Colour Bright and deep cherry colour

Nose Ripe black fruit and licorice, complemented by balsamic notes, fine spices,
cocoa, a subtle smoky background, and hints of dried nuts

Palate Broad and silky, with sweet spice and licorice nuances. Well-structured and gentle, it finishes with elegance and a distinctive saline touch that reflects the limestone soils from which it originates
