Bottled hedonism. Suave and silky, Valdaya is serious competition to Ribera del Duero’s big names. And a Master of Wine agrees…
94 points, “The straight Valdaya release is made with fruit from three different soil types in remote, high-altitude Baños de Valdearados. Intensely floral and refined as Marta Ramas and Miguel Fisac’s wines always are, this is a polished Ribera with chalky intensity, fine-boned tannins and layers of plum and blueberry fruit.” – Tim Atkin MW
Valdaya is made by a couple who studied in Bordeaux under the world-renowned oenologist Professor Denis Dubourdieu and worked all around the world before returning to Spain. They pick the grapes from approximately 60-year-old, low-yielding Tempranillo vines and mature the wine in oak for 15 months. With immense ageing potential, this is just a baby at the moment, but it’s already brimming with juicy black fruit, oak spices, smoked meat, balsamic and velvety dark chocolate. Don’t miss out on this phenomenal wine.
