Viña Bujanda

Viña Bujanda is the project that Carlos and Pilar Martínez Bujanda decided to undertake in their own home, Oyón, where their great-grandfather Joaquín Martínez Bujanda founded the original family winery that has given rise to this saga of winegrowers and winemakers, whose fourth and fifth generations continue to run the business today.

The winery combines the family tradition of these winegrowers with the most modern oenological techniques, a concept that is reflected in the iconography and in the labelling of the wines themselves, with a modern image illustrated with a classic typography.

Viña Bujanda owns a total of 127 hectares distributed in plots in Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta, including an important estate in the vicinity of Logroño, El Seminario. The 127 hectares of Viña Bujanda are distributed among 28 plots of land between 20 and 70 years old, with an average plantation age of around 30 years.

The estates belong to the sub-regions of La Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa, with Logroño and Oyón as the main municipalities, although with a notable diversity of terroirs due to the different soil compositions and orientations of the plots. The Viña Bujanda vineyards are rooted in calcareous clay and ferrous clay soils.

The former, of a characteristic ochre colour, come down from the Sonsierra and are typical of Rioja Alavesa and part of Rioja Alta. They are ideal for the Tempranillo variety and for ageing wines. The ferrous clay soils, reddish in colour and mostly found in areas such as Alto Najerilla, are poor in organic matter and offer fresh reds with body and mineral nutrients, which perfectly complement those from the calcareous clay areas for the perfect balance that has historically distinguished traditional Riojas.
