This classic, modern, dark-fruited Tempranillo is powerful and rich. Plenty of rich black plum and prune, complemented by chocolate and leather. Soft texture but dense and filled with flavour.

Making wine isn’t necessarily hard. All you really need are some grapes, some of the right equipment, and enough time on your hands to do the job. Establishing a real connection between the soil, the vines, and the winemaker, though? That’s the kind of thing that doesn’t come overnight, but that’s where the real magic starts to happen. Bodegas y Vinedos Valderiz was based entirely on that concept: bridging the gap between the land and the bottle, and making the kinds of wines which tell a story about their terroir. In doing so, this unique Ribera del Duero winery has managed to build something of a cult following both at home and overseas, and continues to build on the strength and unique character of their stunning vintages. Unlike many Ribera del Duero wines (indeed, many Spanish wines), the bottles which come out of Bodegas y Vinedos Valderiz are all about the fruit. No messing about, no barrel aging, no oaking whatsoever - this is a chance to experience the natural wonder of fermented grapes, and revel in their uninterrupted flavours and aromas. Thanks to their incredible terroir, and the dedication of the Bodegas’ winemakers, this is a Spanish winery both ripping up the rulebook and making unforgettable wines in the process.
