The Winery

Finca Valpiedra is on a spectacular meander of the Ebro River and is the only Rioja among the Grandes Pagos de España (Great Estates of Spain). This is because It is unusual for single-vineyard wines to be made in this region. Still, because the vineyard site had continually proven its wines to be outstanding, in 1994, the Martínez Bujanda family built a winery at its centre and kept the best grapes exclusively for these special bottlings.
