Grapes are carefully and strictly selected from plots that will be processed separately. The Tempranillo grape brings this wine sweetness, red fruit, and roundness. We selected the Maturana, a variety with personality, for its wild touch, powerful colour, and body. The Graciano grape provides freshness and liveliness. We carry out a pre-fermentative maceration of the grapes at low temperatures to achieve a greater extraction of fruit and colour. Then, it is aged for 14 months in French and American oak barrels.

| Winery | The roots of Bodegas Valdemar go back to 1889, and Joaquin Martínez Bujanda, and it remains an independent estate committed to using 100% estate-grown fruit – a very unusual strategy in Rioja. Sourcing only from 290 hectares of estate vineyards has allowed Valdemar to keep quality consistent and experiment in great detail with different sites and obscure grape varieties. The range of wines makes the most of this consistency and flexibility, from unoaked entry-level Riojas bursting with flavour to dense, complex rarities that offer even the most hardened aficionado something new. Valdemar’s single-site expressions are of particular note. The high altitude Balcón de Pilatos vineyard perfectly suits the rediscovered Maturana grape. A little lower altitude, Las Seis Alhajas is warm enough to bring the late-ripening Graciano to full maturity. These highly polished wines, made and aged in their dedicated winery, perfectly demonstrate the region’s growing trend for producing site-specific wines of character and distinction. |
