Cooler vintages seem to suit Finca Valpiedra’s warmer site above the Ebro River. Combining Tempranillo with 4% each of Maturana Tinta and Graciano, this is a polished, effortlessly refined red from winemaker Lauren Rosillo, showing fine, perfumed oak, notes of graphite, blackberry and cassis and enough tannic backbone and structure to age further in bottle.

Cooler vintages seem to work particularly well at Finca Valpiedra as it is a warmer site and this 2014 illustrates the point perfectly. Combining Tempranillo with 4% each of Maturana Tinta and Graciano, this is a polished, effortlessly refined red from Lauren Rosillo, with fine, scented oak, notes of graphite, blackberry and cassis and the tannic backbone and structure to age.
92pts Wine Enthusiast
Dark ruby in the glass, this wine has a nose of black cherry, dark plums and charcuterie. Sleek tannins slowly build on the palate, backing flavors of pomegranate, ripe summer cherry, roasted tomato, white chocolate and thyme. The finish is marked with a splash of cranberry sauce.
Winemaker Notes
Purple with ruby highlights, this wine shows up-front aromas of raspberries and black cherries with undertones of leather and spice. On the palate, it is expansive and rich.
Pair with lamb and apricot tajines, prime rib, tomato stews, or green lentil-based dishes.
