Valdemar Balcon de Pilatos Maturana 2019
Valdemar Balcon de Pilatos Maturana 2019
- Grape Maturana
- Country Spain
- Region Rioja
- ABV 13.5%
- Producer Valdemar
- Case size 6/ 75cl
- Spectacular red big cherry color with a very high layer.
- Complex and intense spicy aromas, dominate the cocoa, vanilla, coconut, and subtle notes of blackcurrant. Smooth entry in mouth, silky passage, and fleshy, with a wide aftertaste and a delicate structure. Bodegas Valdemar is a family company whose roots date back to 1889, and whose Riojas has long been a reference point for the DO. Despite this their approach is very much forward-looking; having pioneered many techniques in the region, from barrel fermentation and temperature control to saignée-method rosado, their style tends towards the modern.

Fincas Valdemacuco is the first foray outside Rioja for Bodegas Valdemar, who have poured over a century of winemaking experience into this new venture from Spain’s other great Tempranillo-producing region. The grapes come from selected vineyards in the Nava de Roa district near the Duero river itself, and offer a distinctive clarity and freshness of fruit, which sensitive winemaking and a brief passage in oak barrel have served to enhance.
