In 1889, Joaquin Martínez Bujanda began the family winemaking tradition in Oyón, a small town in Basque Country, footsteps away from Rioja.  Thus began Bodegas Valdemar, which has become one of Rioja’s premium wineries.  In 2019, they opened Valdemar Estates in Walla Walla, operated by the 5^th generation of the Bujanda family, becoming Washington State’s first interationally owned winery.  “Entre Nosotros“ translates to “between us”.  Most of the fruit is from Walla Walla Valley.  Aged 18 months in French oak (32% new).  Black currant, blackberry, black pepper, black tea.  This wine is much closer to Bordeaux than Napa Valley in style, and will shine brightest with food.
