About Cosecheros y Criadores
Fine wineries make up the Martinez-Bujanda Family: Finca Valpiedra (DOCa Rioja), Finca Antigua (DO La Mancha), Finca Montepedroso (DO Rueda), Viña Bujanda (DOCa Rioja), and Cosecheros y Criadores (Wines from the land of Castilla). They all have a common denominator: the production of wines from their own vineyards comes with the diversity and richness of very different cultivation areas.
About Medium Red
Medium red wines can be called “food wines.” They offer up tons of flavor with a balance of zesty acidity which makes them match with a wide variety of foods (from zesty salads to rich and cheesy lasagna). These are the perfect mid-week wines for red wine lovers.
There are many varieties that span the mid-weight red wine category so, to name a few familiar ones, check out Grenache, Sangiovese, Merlot, Zinfandel, Montepulciano, Cabernet Franc and Barbera.
