A limited edition of a white wine good for ageing, one of the best whites from Rioja. Creamy, fresh, perfumed, with a great balance between body and acidity.
The reserve white wine pairs well with grilled fish, stewed poultry, baked turkey, and small game dishes (partridge and turtle dove). This white wine from Rioja also goes fantastically well with medium- to high-curing cheeses. And if you are looking for paella wines, Finca Valpiedra Reserva Blanco is luxurious.
Enjoy an exclusive Rioja white wine made with Viura, Garnacha Blanca, Malvasía, and Maturana Blanca, fermented in French and American oak barrels and aged 24 months.
Medium intensity, golden yellow with flashes of old gold. Abundant and dense tears. High intensity, with great complexity and elegance in the aromatic matrix, highlighting the mineral and stone fruit notes (peach, apricot), with notes of incense and smoke. All this, together with the fine wood notes from French and American oak, such as vanilla, cedar, clove, and spices such as turmeric. In the initial phase of taste, it denotes excellent softness and volume, developing an excellent tannic structure that makes it tasty and sapid. Freshness is its predominant note with great balance with alcohol, showing a very long aftertaste and a pleasant finish. The spicy, fruity notes and those from the wood appear again through the retronasal route.
Medium-high curing cheeses. Stewed poultry, baked turkey, and small game dishes (partridge and turtledove). Grilled fish, sea bass, sea bream, turbot, and rice in paella.

| Winery | Finca Valpiedra is a single Rioja Alta vineyard of spectacular quality – so good that the company decided to build a winery in the middle of it to look after its concentrated aromatic fruit. The 80-hectare estate is located on a meander in the river Ebro between Fuenmayor and Cenicero, on predominantly alluvial and pebbly soils. The three terraces of vineyards have a unique microclimate, retaining heat and humidity; the stones, “piedra”, have a great influence on the quality of the wine. Here, the winery works more along the lines of a Bordeaux château than a typical Rioja bodega, and the estate is the only Rioja winery to be a member of Grandes Pagos de España – Great Single Estates of Spain. Cantos is a second wine that offers a youthful expression of this top-class terroir, whilst the Reserva contains a small percentage of Graciano and Maturana with ageing only in French oak barrels. Two recent additions to the range give further insight into this unique vineyard: Petra is a pure Garnacha, a rarity in this part of Rioja, while the Blanco Reserva is an extraordinary white blend, made from Viura vines over 120 years old, complemented by three other local varieties. |
