Details
Valdaya El Valiente 2022
Made from Tinta del País, the wine Valdaya El Valiente is produced by the up-and-coming winery Bodegas Valdaya from vineyards situated at 900 metres of altitude, in DO Ribera del Duero.
The vines, 30 to 50 years of age, are planted in clayey soils in Gumiel de Mercado and Baños de Valdearados, two villages in the province of Burgos.
Hand-picked and sorted on site, the grapes were first destemmed and then fermented in stainless steel tanks and concrete diposits. Then this Spanish red wine was transferred into French oak barrels and macerated for some time.
After that, the wine Valdaya El Valiente 2022 was aged in the barrels for 12 months before bottling.
Aerate this red wine from Ribera del Duero 30 minutes before drinking.
Pair this Crianza red wine with meat recipes and aged cheeses.
