All my known ancestors were viticulturists. Two of my maternal great-great-grandparents were awarded for their wines at the 1888 Universal Exhibition in Barcelona, 130 years ago. My father, Manuel Martínez Botella, from Hondón de las Nieves, started growing table grapes in his village and in Aspe in the 1950s. In the seventies he moved to Pinoso and acquired the estate, probably the first to introduce this crop in the municipality. My father's second surname is the one that gives the name to the estate. I was born in Algueña, a municipality close to the farm. In this area the marble industry has played and continues to play a very important role in the industrial sector but it has had an enormous environmental impact by destroying a mountain that formed part of the Algueña landscape. In order to prevent the other emblematic mountain of my village from being destroyed, my family and I decided in 2004 to take ownership of it to guarantee the conservation of the Sierra de l'Algaiat. We have created the brand "Medi Natural" (Natural environment in Valencian) which has a vindictive meaning, and nostalgia for that natural environment and landscape destroyed by marble quarries. Today my children are also involved in agriculture: Jordi is in charge of the table grapes and Maria of the wine grapes. In this way, the family tradition of winegrowers continues, with a special concern for a healthy diet and the protection of the natural environment.
