100% Tempranillo<\/p>\n
Bodegas Valduero is one of Spain\u2019s most visionary and globally respected wineries. For almost 40 years. This family-owned run estate has been leading the way in Ribera de Duero which was one of the very first wineries to emerge from this highly coveted location to produce some of the most iconic wines in the world.<\/p>\n
Bodegas Valduero was established by Gregorio Garc\u00eda \u00c1lvarez in 1984, when only 30 wineries existed in Ribera del Duero. For over three decades, the region has flourished and so has the Bodega. Today, Gregory\u2019s daughter Yolanda, one of Spain\u2019s top oenologists, runs the 150-hectare estate helped with her sister Carolina who oversees the commercial side of the business. Their wines have won many awards and are renowned for their structure, freshness and complexity. They need time to reveal all their potential and for this reason, only Reserva and Gran Reserva wines are being made in the best years.<\/p>\n
Traditionally, the vines are trained as low bush \u2013 producing very low yields \u2013 and planted exclusively with Tempranillo at 800 meters high. Very poor and dry soils combined with the harsh climatic conditions of the area \u2013 with cold winter and hot summer \u2013 are ideal for making wines of long life with great power.<\/p>\n
The state of the art winery is sustainable using gravity to transport the freshly pressed must to the wine barrels which are stored in three underground tunnels. Yolanda believes long maturation in both barrel and bottle is absolutely necessary and meticulously selects each barrel to produce powerful and elegant wines that will last for decades.<\/p>\n
All kind of red meats, bellota ham, cured cheeses, grilled oily fish such as tuna & salmon and dishes with rich sauces.<\/p>\n
