Bodegas Martínez Corta (Uruñuela) Denominación de Origen Calificada: Rioja Bodegas Martínez Corta family estate includes 150 acres of oldvine Tempranillo in the heart of Rioja Alta, and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities in a new bodega finished for the 2006 harvest. Bodegas Martínez Corta is located in Uruñuela, in the heart of Rioja Alta. Viticulturists for generations, the decision was made over fifty years ago to produce quality wine. Since the 1960s Martínez Corta has consistently been the most important wine estate in Uruñuela, elaborating in a medieval cellar that has remained a part of the estate. The estate includes 150 acres of old-vine Tempranillo, located in Uruñuela, Cenicero and San Asensio, all head-pruned and with a minimum age of 40 years. Vineyard parcels are typically located on high slopes poor in organic materials, maintaining elegance and minerality in the wines. A new gravity-flow bodega was completed in 2006 to produce fully extracted, fruit-driven wines expressing the complexity and velvet palate of the noble Tempranillo variety. Martínez Corta “Cepas Antiguas” is a remarkable value from oldvines with little or no oak influence.
