Iñaki Murillo Viteri

He is the youngest of the 5th generation of the Murillo Viteri. He has always been immersed in the world and in the culture of wine with the best teachers. Still today, every Monday morning, you can see him receiving lessons from his oenological tutor Alejandro Fernandez de Bobadilla and his father, Paco Murillo, at the Bodegas Murillo Viteri facilities.

Between both masters they add a whopping more than a century of experience. All that knowledge acquired over the past century has been inherited by the youngest of the Murillo Viteri.

At the age of 25, and after having developed professionally in some of the most advanced companies in the country, he decided to dedicate himself body and soul to the winery. It gives the winery a point of freshness in a world of very conservative and traditional wine.

In 2006, he embarked, along with his brother Patxi and Paco, his father, in the magnificent project of the construction of a unique winery, designed with the highest ecological and social responsibility criteria that mark the philosophy of the winery. These criteria, present in all the actions of the winery, are inherited from his great-grandfather.

His father, Paco, tells him since he was a child how grandfather Nicolás was imprisoned in the Logroño prison for boycotting the first agricultural machines, because he thought that the smoke from the engines would affect the quality of the products.

Today Iñaki coordinates Bodegas Murillo Viteri together with his brother Patxi, and is immersed in different areas, with new projects within the winery that have been true successes in wine communication, with national appearances on TVE1, Antena 3, Telecinco, La Sexta , and international like Euronews. As Teresa Viteri, their mother, tells them affectionately, “to be so little, what a war you give.”

His beautiful partner Esther, and his children Itxaso and Ibai (5 and 8 years old) are also crazy about the wine world and you can see them in the winery smelling grandfather’s tanks and learning to differentiate the nuances of the harvests.
