Bodegas Valderiz Ribera del Duero 2020

Our 2020 allocation just arrived. 60 bottles available. HUGE customer favorite. 

Located on prime, chalky real estate in the village of Roa del Duero, Valderiz makes some of the most serious wines of the region. Their 60 hectares are spread across 35 different parcels, trained "en vaso" or goblet, which owner Tomas Esteban feels is best for the vines in this land of extreme continental climate. Vineyards are organically farmed with some biodynamic preparations employed as well. Here is just one indicator of how desirable these vineyards are, Peter Sisseck of Dominio Pingus (one of the most sought-after Ribera del Duero producers) calls every year looking to purchase fruit from this estate. This is classic Ribera del Duero Tempranillo full of bright, pure, intense berry fruit, framed by the region's telltale sturdy structure. Fermentation takes place in tank and occurs naturally, with native yeasts and absolutely no additives used.

Fine oak spices and cocoa powder to the ripe cherries, cassis, black cherries and warm stones. Full-bodied and polished on the palate with tightly wound tannins that seep through the compact fruit. Good balance between tight structure and fruit density. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better from 2024.

Long and creamy, this elegant red is structured by supple tannins and juicy acidity, a fine frame for the appealing range of baked black cherry, fig cake, mocha and sage. Fresh, spiced finish. Drink now through 2028.
