Special Edition Familia Martínez Bujanda Gran Reserva 2008

Rioja DOCa

We’ve been buying from this great Rioja family for 34 years. For our 50th year, they insisted on releasing a special Gran Reserva for customers. What a treat! Over two years in cask, this 2008 has rich layers of mature berry, leather and spicy oak.

In 1984 the Martínez Bujanda family completed a state of the art winery and then shot to fame with amazing wines. We started buying from them in the early days, the first to bring their wines to the UK, and we’ve worked closely with them since. They’ve won a huge haul of awards along the way, Brand of the Decade in the 1990s, and one of the Top Five Rioja Houses, both from Wine & Spirits magazine, USA, to name two. On our 50th anniversary they were delighted to make us a special Gran Reserva. It’s from a very good vintage, aged in barrel for 26 months, the rest in bottle. A blend of Tempranillo with portions of old vine Mazuelo and Garnacha to lend extra breadth of flavour and richness. Gorgeous, lavish and complex, as befits the occasion.

"A truly fine, richly layered and intriguing, well balanced Gran Reserva. Great stuff" Beth Willard
