- 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.
The wine was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with a fourteen-day maceration. Following fermentation, it was aged for twelve months in a mixture of French and American oak barriques.
Finca Valpiedra is located in the best area of the DOCa Rioja, on a spectacular meander of the river Ebro, and is the only Rioja among the Grandes Pagos de Espana (Great Estates of Spain). This is because single-vineyard wines are so unusual in the region, but in this case, the vineyard site itself proved so consistently outstanding that in 1994 the Martínez Bujanda family built a winery at its center, and kept the best grapes exclusively for these special bottlings.
