2024 marked the 24 years’ landmark as wine world professionals.
Continually traveling through the Spanish Wine Country we sought and found wineries to partner up in different areas of Spain to make together wines that represent the local flavors and traditions.
We start with the selection of the vineyards, decide on pruning strategies looking for the optimal ripeness in most cases leading to low yields per vine.
Harvest at the lowest possible daily temperatures and cool down the grapes before fermentation starts.
Hands-on winemaking with the idea of the wine we want to deliver on mind. Generally looking for a prominent fruit through low fermentation temperatures as well as some higher extraction lots to make the final blend. The reds then relax and develop its character into carefully selected oak barrels.
When the perfect blend is decided, then we carefully bottle the wine being incredibly delicate in this final step.
Over all processes, our aim to please the palate of the ultimate judge, our respected wine lover.
He comes from the world of logistics to wine out of pure passion, starting his first project (NDEVINA) in 1999, managing to break it in six months, a record. Later he manages the export and marketing of different wineries and cooperatives, participates in 2003 in the initial impulse and foundation of the D.O. Ribera del Júcar and later founded Majuelos Singulares de España and Majuelos Iberia.
Currently he collaborates with many of our winemakers and clients defining the profile of the wines and is also responsible for numerous international accounts.
Worldwide known for being a machine to generate happiness.
Born to a vinicultural family in Ribera del Duero, one of Spain’s premiere wine regions, he was destined to become a notable figure in the Spanish wine industry. Xabier vividly remembers assisting cultivation and harvesting efforts on his family’s vineyards during his youth. His young adulthood was characterized by winery employment and postsecondary academic pursuits. Xabier attained a degree in Economics, which he applied at Lehman Brothers, and an MBA in Marketing and Commercial Management-both mere steppingstones towards realizing his dreams of entrepreneurship. Xabier’s climb up the vine began as the wine portfolio manager of Distinct Expressions, Inc., followed by a position as a regional sales manager for Frontier Wines. He would later combine his early vinicultural skills, keen sense of identifying a wine’s unique flavors, finance background and ability to build trusted professional relationships to carve out his place in the wine industry. In 2000, he co-founded Majuelos Iberia-a company committed to the evolution of wine making in Spain as the science becomes just as important as the cellar.
Majuelos Iberia’s success is a testament of their meticulous ability to transform Albarinos, Grenaches, Tempranillos and a host of other grape varieties into world-class wines that satisfy global demands.
The brightest head in the administration of the company, tenacious and efficient.
He defends the Majuelos shirt better than anyone, always thinking of the end customer. Great chef, capable of making a perfect stir-fry while requesting a COLA waiver.
From the world of logistics to the world of wine. He’s not a fool at all. Always thinking about service and efficiency. Proactive.
With the vital experience of having resided in Germany, Holland, Italy and the UK, carrying out different jobs always with direct customer service, she returns to Spain to dedicate herself to the export of Olive Oils. Later she joins our team as a Junior salesperson.
Born in Ukraine into a bilingual and multicultural environment and having lived in various European and Latin American countries most part of her life, she can be considered as a citizen of the world. Her multicultural background, wide experience working for companies with international operations and extensive travels have given her a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and global markets.
Her journey into the world of wine began many years ago through tastings, work gatherings, and celebrations. What started as a casual interest blossomed into a profound passion for Spanish wine and a strong desire to promote and export it globally, which has been her full-time profession since 2019.
After so many years explaining that the first we look in a new project are unique, exceptional vineyards… now, my conclusion is that as Xabi says, the first we need is the quality of the person behind the project. It is absolutely necessary to count with a reliable person for a long term project. We develop trusting relationship to overcome all the future challenges.
The vineyard is just the expression of the grape grower, his interaction with the soil, climate, techniques and the gift we bring to the end consumer. Wherever the vineyard is located the key is to be loyal to the origin, look for the simplicity that makes the wine great and erase cultural differences.
We live in Spain, the country with the largest amount of vineyards in the world. A country with an amazing variety of grapes, terrain and climates… Our goal is to bring value to such wealth of diversity and help survive the indigenous clones, otherwise at risk of disappearing to more productive clones.
We manage the export department in most of the wineries that we work with. We develop projects from scratch. Start at the vineyard, follow the winemaking processes, continue with the marketing: packaging, branding, communication and distribution. We look for social sustainability as well as a healthy finance.
In 2019, we launch a new project born in 2016 with a selection of the best vineyards we found. Majuelos Collection, a few wines where we express clearly the unique characteristics of the outstanding vineyard we fell in love with.
