Finca Antigua

At the beginning of 1998, in Family Martínez Bujanda we decided to initiate a new project for the construction of a new bodega. We began to look for new areas where the family could continue to produce estate-grown quality wines, as is our norm. For this purpose, we explored various vine growing areas throughout Spain, including La Mancha. After ruling out a number of vineyards in different regions, Finca Antigua was discovered.

Located between the provinces of Cuenca and Toledo , in the best area of the La Mancha D.O., we founded Finca Antigua, which was named after the old vines growing there at the time when the vineyard was acquired.

The exceptionallity is the hallmark of our cellar, since each plot is intended for the development of a different wine, ensuring  an unique and inimitable flavor.

The high altitude combined with the loam soil, high limestone content and little organic matter are the perfect symbiosis to allow the grapes to ripen.

Inaugurated in March 2003, this 1000 hectare estate, has 421 hectares (over a 1000 acres) under  vines  with varieties such as Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah amongst others. This single estate vineyard has provided the  perfect setting to let the winemaker´s imagination and creativity run wild, with plantations and plots of international varieties growing closely with local varieties.

Bodega

The bodega has been built in complete harmony with the vision of the styles of wines to be made here. It is a perfect example of efficient, avant-garde architecture. The building  houses the latest technology whilst still respecting  time-honoured winemaking traditions.

Steel, stone and cement are the materials used to construct the spectacular facades of the bodega, bearing a sharp contrast with the freshness of the reservoir  which lies calmly outside.
