Finca Valpiedra Reserva 2016 — A Rioja Red of Elegance and Power
Experience the rare beauty of a single-vineyard Rioja with the critically acclaimed Finca Valpiedra Reserva 2016.

Tasting Notes — Finca Valpiedra Reserva 2016
On the nose, intense aromas of ripe sloes, blackberries and dark plums are beautifully lifted by a distinct mineral edge. Nuances of cigar box, vanilla, and white chocolate emerge from careful ageing in French oak barrels for 24 months, adding depth and refinement.
The palate is silky-textured and remarkably fresh, balancing ripe black fruit flavours with layers of spices and a subtle smokiness. Supple tannins and vibrant acidity provide structure, while the finish is long, rounded and persistent, leaving notes of plum, spice and oak lingering gracefully.

| Winery | Finca Valpiedra is a single Rioja Alta vineyard of spectacular quality – so good that the company decided to build a winery in the middle of it to look after its concentrated aromatic fruit. The 80-hectare estate is located on a meander in the river Ebro between Fuenmayor and Cenicero, on predominantly alluvial and pebbly soils. The three terraces of vineyards have a unique microclimate, retaining heat and humidity; the stones, “piedra”, greatly influence the quality of the wine. Here, the winery works more along the lines of a Bordeaux château than a typical Rioja bodega, and the estate is the only Rioja winery to be a member of Grandes Pagos de España – Great Single Estates of Spain. Cantos is a second wine that offers a youthful expression of this top-class terroir, whilst the Reserva contains a small percentage of Graciano and Maturana with ageing only in French oak barrels. Two recent additions to the range give further insight into this unique vineyard: Petra is a pure Garnacha, a rarity in this part of Rioja, while the Blanco Reserva is an extraordinary white blend, made from Viura vines over 120 years old, complemented by three other local varieties. |
