The Conde Valdemar Crianza Rioja Conde 2017 tells not only the story of a winery, but also that of a family that is passionate about the land and its own vineyards. Its origins go back to Joaquin Martinez Bujanda in 1889 and his winery in the Basque municipality of Ojón, which is located in the famous wine-growing region of Rioja.

"Big Eye" is the English translation of Ojón, and subsequent generations of the family have indeed shown foresight. They knew how to constantly develop their heritage, always with a proud look at the past and an awareness of future investments. This was not just about using the latest winery technology, although the winery became a model as the first company in Spain to use temperature-controlled fermentation tanks.

Innovations and Historical Awareness
The purchase of vineyards was used as an opportunity for innovation. For example, almost extinct, native varieties such as Graciano were reactivated in order to preserve this diversity for future generations. These unique characteristics make the wines of Conde Valdemar something very special.

A pioneer in winemaking
At the end of the 1980s, the winery was also the first in Spain to ferment a white wine exclusively in wooden barrels, another innovation. The motto "grow and nurture" still applies in the 21st century, with the focus always being on the development of native vines that would perhaps die out without this resourceful winery.

When President and Owner Jesús Martínez Bujanda looked back and forward in 2019 on the occasion of the company's 130th anniversary, he signaled that we can look forward to many pleasant surprises from this house.
