Finca Montepedroso
In the heart of Spain's Rueda wine region, at an altitude of 750 metres, lies the Montepedroso estate – a place where tradition, passion and personality come together. Here, siblings Carlos and Pilar Martínez Bujanda produce a white wine from 100% Verdejo grapes that impressively reflects the terroir of the region.
In the 1990s, after working with their father for many years, Carlos and Pilar decided to start a new project: producing estate wines (‘Vinos de Finca’). Today, the family portfolio includes several vineyards, including Finca Montepedroso. In 2008, the family acquired 25 hectares of Verdejo vineyards in Rueda and began construction of the winery, which was inaugurated in 2012. Rueda is particularly ideal for Verdejo: the cool nights preserve the fresh acidity of the grapes, while warm days promote their aromatic ripeness. The calcareous soil and high altitude further contribute to clear fruit and fine minerality.

“Time is of the essence for creating high-quality spirits” (Jérôme Tessendier)
The Tessendier & Fils Distillery, established in 1880, is a family-run business based in Cognac and Jarnac, on the banks of the Charente, which produces a diverse portfolio of high-quality Cognacs (see Cognac Park) with a modern twist. The heirs, Jérôme and Lilian Tessendier, have succeeded in modernising the family business in the face of the international dimension of the market: first by creating their own brand of Cognac, then by drawing on their ancestral savoir-faire to refine other types of spirits. This knowledge was forged over time, improved from generation to generation and is now shared by the Tessendier Distillery through three Cognac series (Park, Campagnère, Grand Breuil), each with its own unique character, its own history.
