During his management he started an ambitious internationalization process that led the winery group to be present in 60+ countries around the globe and reach an export share of 70% of the production.

Carlos, together with his sister Pilar, they conceived the concept of “Estate Wine” that is today the characteristic of Familia Martínez Bujanda elaborations: Finca Valpiedra (DOCa Rioja), Finca Antigua (DO La Mancha) and Finca Montepedroso (DO Rueda); these are extraordinary single vineyards and wineries at the service of the personality of the soils where they are settled. They are the result of this enterprising spirit and part of what makes up the difference between Familia Martínez Bujanda and most of the other historic wineries coming from Rioja.

Familia Martínez Bujanda has five wineries in four different Appellations and employs more than 110 people in this dream of elaborating quality wines, with the personality of the characteristic nature of the vineyards.

Carlos Martínez Bujanda belongs to the fourth generation of this winegrowing family, but the fifth is already in place with his two children, Borja, graduated in Economy and Law, and Adrián, graduated in Law and Politics Science. It is just a question of timing as to their incorporation in to the Family Business.
