Overview:A wine that shows us the splendour of each vintage based on the wisdom of the past and the wealth of the present. A mellow, passionate and living style that year after year, challenge after challenge, harvest after harvest reinterprets its style to keep its essence intact.

Valbuena, is the purest expression of the Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) in Vega Sicilia. Tinto Fino is clearly the predominant wine in the assemblage of the varieties that make up this magnificent wine. The other variety used is Merlot, which is added to a greater or lesser extent depending on the vintage.

The Valbuena Tempranillo is obtained from plots located on gentle concave slopes that descend from the wasteland. Those soils are made up of material that was eroded and accumulated as colluvial on the lower slopes, developing a high profile soil, with a specific important evolution with the formation of a deep calcic horizon.

Valbuena provides us with a direct and understandable view of the greatness of this “terroir” with the direct influence of each vintage. Its production remains unchanged meaning that it is each year’s weather factors that mark the differences between the different harvests.

Tasting Notes:A complex bouquet with notes of ripe plum and blackberry, as well as hints of cassis, redcurrant, dark dried fruits, and sour cherry. In addition, there is a fine, extremely well integrated wood spice. Notes of caramel and black pepper, as well as ethereal hints. On the palate, there is a soft, flattering attack, fresh dark berries, cherries, blueberries, and fine-grained tannin.

Pairing:Grilled meat of game and beef, with roasts, lamb, mushrooms and game or a strong soup.
