Vina Bujanda Rioja Reserva

Viña Bujanda is owned by the brother-and-sister team Carlos and Pilar Martínez-Bujanda Irribarria, whose family has been making wine since 1889. The estate was established in 2009 in the small village of Oyon near Logroño, completing the range of wines offered by Familia Martínez-Bujanda.

Viña Bujanda Reserva, made of 100% Tempranillo, comes from Rioja Alta and Alavesa areas. Grapes are grown in clay and harvested during the first week of October. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel tanks for 12 days and aged in oak for 20 months before it is ready to enjoy. The resulting wine shows intense complexity and great aging potential.

Wine Spectator - 90 points - "A fragrant overtone of eucalyptus, iron, clove and resin is enmeshed with flavors of macerated raspberry and cranberry, singed orange peel and black olive on the palate of this fresh red, trimmed by taut, sinewy tannins."
