Bodegas Vallemayor
Several generations of harvesters precede us and
after a life dedicated to wines of Rioja, in 1985
Luis Perez Foncea founded the Bodegas Vallemayor.
With the property of 30 hectares of tempranillo
in Fuenmayor and selecting the best grapes of
the zone, are elaborated an ample wine range following
the traditional methods of Rioja, but with the
most modern technology based on the care and the
hygiene of the product. The bodegas produces young
wines, reservas and gran reservas. They are aged
in new barrels of French and American oak and
with long periods of rest in bottle. In addition
to a nourished market of individuals, we emphasize
the increasing exporting vocation of this company.
At the present moment our wines are present in
practically all of Europe and the Americas, with
serious possibilities of increase from sales and
expansion to new markets. Today we produce and
sell more than a million liters of wine, of which
60% is destined to young wines and 40% is for
the crianzas, the reservas and the gran reservas.
Knowledge, experience, dedication and patience
have given to Luis Perez Foncea the success in
their work. The recognition of its neighbors,
the word of mouth and the constant personal attention,
even workingÊ Saturdays and Sundays, have generated
a direct market of sale in the bodega and shipment
to individuals, which causes that Luis feels the
pride to satisfy others with well made wines.
