Here at winesale we have been importing Bodegas Valdelana wines from Rioja for a number of years. We are ever impressed with the clean and modern style of wines from this classic region. Blown away with the ever astonishing prices.... Valdelana is located in the village of Elciego,  in the region known as Rioja Alavesa. A family owned and operated estate now in its fifth generation. Riddled with history, the estate boasts spectacular underground cellars dating from the 15th century.

95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano. The grapes, from vines over 60 years old planted in chalky-clay soils, are vinified with the same methods the estate has traditionally used since the 1500's. Twenty-four months spent aging in French and American oak round off the finished wine. Cherry colour and delicate transparency. Aromas of earth, dark fruit, chocolate and fine spices. Smooth and fine tannins envelop the palate, displaying plum, tobacco leaves, and a touch of liqueur. Lively fruitiness and woody undertones.

Best enjoyed around 16ºC Serve with Spanish stews, or other mediteranean dishes.

Amazing quality, worth every cent!
