£25.13

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.

Producer

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 España (Great Estates of Spain). This is partly 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 centre, and kept the best grapes exclusively for these special bottlings.

Vineyard

Warmed by the river and protected from cold north winds by the Sierra de Cantabria, the eighty hectares of Finca Valpiedra enjoy a privileged microclimate. The soil is sandy loam and limestone, which gives excellent natural acidity, with a great many stones that help retain heat and water. The vines average thirty years old, and the grapes were harvested in the third week of September, with a severe selection.

Winery

Following fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with a twenty-day maceration, the wine was aged for twenty-four months in French oak.
