Born from clay and limestone soils at 890 meters above sea level, this wine comes from vines over 70 years old with yields of 1,000 kg/ha. It is handcrafted using native yeasts and aged for four years in five oak barrels , followed by extensive bottle aging (since 1995). The aromas are of ripe black fruit, cedar, leather, and fine spices; the palate is majestic, balanced, and remarkably long. A historic red wine for long aging.

Valduero Lantigua (0.75 L)
The most prestigious and expensive wine in Spain
Lantigua is proof of the eternal life achieved by the Tempranillo grape. It is handcrafted, entirely artisanal, with destemming and pressing done by hand in 500-liter oak barrels.
DO Ribera del Duero. Vines >70 years old in Viña “El Cascorral” (alluvial soil with stones, 800 m, approx. 90 years old) and plots of clay and limestone at 890 m. Density: 2,600 plants/ha. High-altitude terroir and slow ripening.
Vase-shaped training system, no irrigation. Traditional fertilization with sheep manure. Very low yield: 1,000 kg/ha, for maximum concentration. Manual management of vegetation and vigor.
First week of October. Hand-harvested in 14 kg crates to preserve the grapes. Selection of the best bunches in the vineyard. Immediate transfer to the winery to maintain freshness and purity.
Artisanal production: selected bunches are destemmed and pressed by hand in oak barrels. Aged for 4 years in 5 different types of oak (January 1990–1994), without blending, resting in caves with earthen walls. Result: complexity, finesse, and great aging potential.
