Description

Bodegas Valduero 6 Años Reserva Premium 2014

Grape Varietal & Region: 100% Tempranillo from an over 40-years-old vineyard in Ribera del Duero, Spain. The low yielding vineyard is cultivated without irrigation or chemical fertilisers. Planted exclusively with Tempranillo at 800 metres high, the vineyard has very poor and dry soils. Harsh climatic conditions of the area, with cold winter and hot summers, are ideal to make wines of long life with great power.

Taste Profile: Bodegas Valduero 6 Años Reserva Premium ages for 6 years and is only made during exceptional vintages. Intense garnet colour. A memorable wine with many layers, it opens with notes of toffee and cedar wood. The palate is complex, wide, fleshy and enveloping. Blackberry and dark plum flavours carry layers of chocolate, leather and pepper spice. Closes with a very persistent aftertaste.

Winemaking Process: Harvesting the grapes by hand. Fermentation with native yeasts that provide the character and personality of the terroir. The wine ages in Valduero's centuries old caves for 36 months in oak barrels from 4 different origins, then a further 36 months in bottle. Limited series of 18,000 bottles
