Familia Martínez Zabala of Faustino Fame Partners with Grapejuice Group for U.S. Representation of Rioja’s Bodegas Campillo

March 4, 2026 (Denver, CO) — Grapejuice Group Imports is pleased to announce a new partnership with Bodegas Campillo and has been appointed the exclusive U.S. importer of the Rioja producer, located in Laguardia, Rioja Alavesa.

Bodegas Campillo is part of Familia Martínez Zabala’s family of wineries, a group with deep roots in Rioja and a long-standing international presence, most notably through the globally recognized Faustino brand. Founded in 1990 by Familia Martínez Zabala, Bodegas Campillo is the sixth estate of the family enterprise and was developed with a specific focus on sustainable viticulture and integrated architecture designed to enhance both the surrounding landscape and the minimalistic winemaking process.  Situated at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria and surrounded by approximately 50 hectares of estate vineyards, Bodegas Campillo benefits from the elevated sites and climatic influence of Rioja Alavesa, contributing freshness, precision, and longevity to its wines.

“We’re proud to welcome Bodegas Campillo into our portfolio,” said Tristan Dyer-Kindy, President of Grapejuice Group Imports. “Rioja is a foundational category in the U.S. market, and Campillo brings a clear identity rooted in place, consistency, and long-term relevance. We’re excited to build this brand thoughtfully, market by market, with partners who share a long-term vision.”

“Bodegas Campillo represents the future for Familia Martínez Zabala, and we believe Grapejuice Group is the ideal partner for re-introducing the brand to the competitive U.S. market,” said Francisco Honrubio Grijalbo, CEO of Familia Martínez Zabala. “Their modern approach to premium brand building, combined with our 160 years of experience, creates a strong foundation for the long-term success of this estate in the United States.”

Grapejuice Group Imports will oversee national U.S. distribution, working closely with its network of distributor partners to expand placements across both on- and off-premise channels. The partnership was brokered by Baedeker Wine, a boutique consulting firm focused on family-owned wine businesses. Baedeker Wine will continue to support the partnership with strategic guidance as Bodegas Campillo is developed in the U.S. market.
