Our
Story

This story begins quite innocently, in the picturesque Andalucian province of Cordoba, Spain with the research of acclaimed Spanish entrepreneur, Maria Dolores Jimenez. Maria was tasked with finding a new application for oranges and orange juice as her family was known for elaborating different types of still wines for their personal and commercial use.

Incidentally, a few bottles of orange juice were forgotten for a long time in the dark corner of Maria’s family basement bodega, this ultimately became the beginning of something magical. 

In 2009, after a few long years, Maria discovered the old, dusty, forgotten bottles. Out of pure curiosity, she sampled them and discovered the new interesting flavor of the accidentally fermented orange wine. Immediately, Maria knew she had an amazing base wine in her hands. From that moment, Maria, together with her employees and Andalucian researchers, decided to create a completely unknown natural orange sparkling wine. 

The effects of their 4 years of work were finally in their glasses. Natural orange bubbles. Amazing taste ….. The Elaboration method was patented and “poco a poco“ production began. In the meantime, Maria convinced her friend Natalia Czarkowska to help her with the commercialization of the product.

Natalia loved the new Andalusian orange bubbles. She knew that the amazing atmosphere of Guadalquivir Valley, with its wonderful climate conditions and over 300 days of Sun and fertile lands made it possible to produce extraordinary quality fruit used for Burnarj. 

Believing this unique wine will quickly conquer the taste buds and the hearts of many consumers, Natalia used her relationship with Jay Dhillon, from Chicago, to present him with the wines developed in Andalucia. 

Jay loved BurNarj for its unique taste and aroma. All thanks to the fact that it is made from 100% natural Spanish oranges. After tasting, he knew BurNarj was amazing, but he said “great, but we have to improve the taste for our American consumers.” 

How did we improve the taste? By simply using Maria’s family secrets and wine recipes! After a four-year elaboration process, a more tasty version made the additional time elaborating worthwhile. Finally, the natural taste of fresh oranges in two fermentation patented processes with improved taste notes was ready to arrive to American consumers. 

During that time, Maria, Natalia, and Jay decided to form a team of partners ready to develop this project for the American market. That’s where this next journey begins! As the first and only product of its kind available in the world today, BurNarj provides a completely new dimension to sparkling wine. Stimulate your senses with orange bubbles and discover the unknown!
