Familia Martínez Bujanda Tempranillo 2015

When Familia Martínez Bujanda moved into their ultra modern winery in 1984, they amazed the world with their fruit rich, modern style Rioja. 30 years later, their wines still impress judges and consumers alike. They pride themselves on using only estate grown fruit, handcrafted by Gonzalo Ortiz, an expert winemaker who also sits on the approval board of the Rioja council (consejo) that taste-tests new vintages and awards them ratings. Familia Martínez Bujanda was the first winery we bought from in Spain back in the 1980s, and down the years it has remained one of our most supportive suppliers. This is benchmark modern Rioja, using the best of the 2015 vintage, with juicy berry fruit and subtle spice. Great with cured hams and grilled lamb.
