We are a small company that focuses on bringing the terroir of Ribera del Duero in a bottle of wine. All processes are environmentally friendly and focus on biodiversity. We make quality wines that represent the freshness and complexity of the region.
The inspiration behind the creation of the Bodegas Martamate began in 2008. We had been making wines successfully for several years from our vineyard in Gumiel de Mercado but , in 2008, we used the best of these grapes to create an exclusive wine, limited to the production of only 3000 bottles.
This first wine, which goes by the name of Primordium (meaning: the origin, the beginning) received a magnificent welcome and was acclaimed by wine critics and connoisseurs (95 points Parker).
It was at this point that we decided to consolidate our inspiration and expertise to create our own winery. We united as a team with a shared philosophy and aim: to produce quality wine that celebrates all that is good in life.
In May 2013, our ideas literally became concrete; we acquired some buildings in Tubilla del Lago, Burgos, within the designated area for the denomination of origin for the Ribera del Duero wines. The Bodega marta maté was born: a plain and simple building in the heart of the countryside solely devoted to the elaboration of a limited quantity of top quality wine.
