Product Description
Details
Produced by the Valenciso winery, the red wine Valenciso Reserva is made from Tempranillo grapes sourced from low-yielding vines with clay-limestone soils located in Ollauri, Briones, Rodezno, Haro and Villalba, all in the Rioja Alta subzone of DOCa Rioja.
Hand-harvested, the grapes were destemmed, macerated and fermented in concrete diposits.
After that, the red wine Valenciso Reserva 2019 was transferred into French oak barrels and aged for 19 months. Then this red wine from La Rioja was aged for a further 14 months in concrete diposits. It was bottled unfined and kept for a while in the cellar before hitting the market.
Decant this Reserva red wine a minimum of 30 minutes before drinking.
It is worth mentioning that this Spanish red wine has won considerable public and critical acclaim over the last years. So much so, that its classy blue label decorated with a silver leaf has already become a quality trademark.
Very limited production.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Valenciso Reserva is deep ruby with a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Complex, nuanced and enticingly pure, this varietal Tempranillo suggests liquorice, spices and blackberry jam, with remembrances of forest floor, tree bark, charcoal and dim mineral hints. |
| Palate | Serious and impeccably crafted, this wine from Bodega Valenciso shows a great balance between a first-class fruit and a judicious use of oak. Lively acidity, sweet, savoury tannins and long finish with remembrances of spices and balsam. |
| Our personal opinion | A nice piece of work, the wine Valenciso Reserva 2019 is full of subtlety and nuance. |

One of the most elegant Riojas out there. It wears its greatness lightly.
