- An intense aroma combining ripe sloes and black fruit with a mineral lift and cigar box vanilla notes from the oak. Silky-textured and fresh in the mouth, with ample fruit fleshing out the supple structure. That rare thing: a single-vineyard Rioja, offering a powerful expression of black fruit, white chocolate, plums, and spices. These aromas are perfectly combined with the smokiness provided by French oak barrels. Round and full-bodied with an elegant, ripe structure and a long, silky, persistent finish.

A wine recommended for lovers of wines of high intensity, great complexity, and elegance in aromas and flavors, it is the best presentation card. It is a Rioja reserve red wine aged 24 months in French oak barrels that provide an ideal balance between fruit, toast, and its pleasant finish. It is one of the only Rioja wines in Grandes Pagos of Spain and has 93 points in the Peñín Guide.
High intensity, cherry color, and cardinal trim. Abundant, dense, and tinted tears. High intensity, with great complexity and elegance in the aromatic matrix, highlighting the mineral notes of red and black fruits and memories of incense. All this together with the fine wood notes from French oak, such as vanilla, cedar, blonde tobacco, and spices. In the initial phase of taste, it denotes excellent softness and volume, developing a very fine tannic structure that makes it tasty and sapid. The freshness that Graciano gives it makes it more balanced concerning alcohol, showing a very long aftertaste and a pleasant finish. Through the retronasal route, the spicy, fruity notes and those from the wood appear again. Medium-cured cheeses. Stewed red meats, baked lamb, and large game dishes (roe deer and chamois). Mountain dishes such as mountain stew or pinto beans with pork.

| Winery | Located in the best area of the Rioja Qualified Denomination of Origin, in a spectacular meander of the Ebro River. Its alluvial soil and pebbles give its name to this farm in the Rioja Alta. Three terraces with 80 hectares at more than 400 meters above sea level, where Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha, and Maturana of red grapes and Viura, Malvasia, Garnacha and Maturana of white grapes are grown. Excellent characteristics with its own microclimate and stony soil, which make its wines rooted in the culture of Pago wines. Part of the Grandes Pagos de Espana Association since its inception, Finca Valpiedra follows the Bordeaux style with a single vineyard and four wines made exclusively with the estate's grapes. A true gem, cradle of great Rioja wines. |
