This is Martinez Saez
The Martinez Saez family have been working the lands of central Spain for generations, both in farming and creating machinery to farm the lands. This low-key family winery once thrived in larger quantities of bulk wine until recently, when Angel decided quality was the way forward. This recent transition from volume to a much more quality focus has produced amazing results. With the help of new technology, investment in premium oak, limited yields and new winemaking local talent, the transformation is ready to share with the world.
