New from Valdemar Estates!

Valdemar Estates
Rioja, Spain

In 1889, Joaquin Martínez Bujanda began the family winemaking tradition in Oyón, a small town in Northern Spain. His son, Marcelino, and his grandson, Jesús, followed in his footsteps. Jesús' son, Don Jesús Martínez Bujanda, created Bodegas Valdemar in the 1980s.

His son, Jesús Martínez Bujanda (5th generation), is the current CEO of the family’s winemaking business, and his sister, Ana Martínez Bujanda, is the Cheif Operations Officer for Bodegas Valdemar.

Jesús fell in love with the Walla Walla Valley while he was a student at the University of Washington. His passion for winemaking and for the valley led him to create Valdemar Estates.

Jesús lives with his wife, Conchita Sánchez Sarabia, and his two children, Teresa and Jesús (6th generation), in Walla Walla. Since then, we have created some of the finest examples of Spanish wines at Bodegas Valdemar. Today, Jesús Martínez Bujanda and his sister, Ana Martínez Bujanda, represent the fifth generation to lead the family business. Together, they opened Valdemar Estates, the first internationally owned winery in Washington state. It is here where they are making their mark on the family’s legacy of innovation while pursuing their passion for wine.

'Conde de Valdemar'
Tempranillo Blanco

Winner of a Gold at the Brussels World Competition, Conde Valdemar Tempranillo Blanco 2022 is a very good introduction to Tempranillo Blanco, a grape born at the end of the last century from a natural genetic mutation of a Tempranillo strain. White Tempranillo is increasingly taking center stage in Rioja. Take advantage of this opportunity to discover it from the hand of one of the pioneering wineries in its production: Valdemar, which is also one of the oldest wineries in Spain and the most important in the DOCA Rioja.

Intense aromas of tropical fruits and hints of fennel. In the mouth it is unctuous, fresh, balanced, and long.
