Familia Martínez Elorza

David Jiménez Martínez is from Logroño and comes from a family of growers in Viñaspre, in Rioja Alavesa, on his mother's side. He studied agricultural engineering and oenology, spent six months with the Moueix family in Bordeaux, worked at several Rioja wineries and in 2020 went back to France, to the Rhône, with the Guigals. His first vintage was 2022, with barely 2,650 bottles.

Of the family's 17 hectares he devotes 3.5 to his own wines, organic since 2020 and herbicide-free since 2017. His red blends three Viñaspre vineyards between 32 and 51 years old, on sands, sandstones and clay marls sheltered by the Sierra de Cantabria: hand-harvested, 40% whole bunch, spontaneous fermentation in open vats and twelve months in once-used French and Hungarian oak barrels and bocoyes.
