Bodegas Pedro Luis Martinez – Bodegas Pedro Luis Martinez was founded in 1870 by a wine broker who wanted to promote the Monastrell varietal because he found that the Monastrell varietal was well adapted to the extreme growing conditions in the region. The bodega is still owned and is now operated by the 4th generation. Many of their estate vineyards are old and have survived the Phylloxera attack in the 1980’s because of their special attention. The bodega has been refurbished several times and now utilizes the latest advancements in technology without losing the characteristics of the varietal in their wines.
