Vineyards and Production

In 2004 we selected, bunch by bunch, the best Tempranillo grapes from our best vineyards.

We harvest with care and dedication, using entirely artisanal methods. Patient aging in the world's finest oak for four years, followed by a long, calm period of bottle aging for over 16 years.

Origin of the vineyard

Vineyards between 52 and 100 years old in three plots: El Cascorral (alluvial soil with stones, 800 m), Del Monte (clay-sandy soil among pines, 890 m, 70 years old) and Del Peñón (stony soil on a moorland slope, 927 m, 52 years old). Density: 2,600 plants/ha.

Field handling

Vase-shaped training system, no irrigation. Traditional fertilization with sheep manure. Selection of plots with very low yields: 1,500 kg/ha, seeking concentration and natural balance.

Harvesting and sorting

First week of October. Hand-harvested in 14 kg boxes to preserve the integrity of the grape and aromatic freshness from the vineyard to the winery.

Production and aging

Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in 500L French oak barrels. Minimum aging of 48 months in oak barrels from 6 different origins, refining complexity and length on the palate.

"Valduero's 12-year-old wine is a gift for the palate and a tribute to the nobility of the vine. Toasting with it is to celebrate life in its purest and most sublime form."
