Valduero De 2 Cotas Reserva 2017
£54.95
Why Mark chose this
Valduero now has 140ha of vineyards, all dry-farmed bush vines, located in two sites in the Upper Ribera del Duero: the 90ha Gumiel de Mercado and the 46ha Villanueva de Gumiel. Both are now planted with Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) which, after some experimentation with other varieties, the family now recognises as “the Queen of Ribera del Duero.” A distinguishing aspect of the vineyards’ character is their altitude: at respectively 800m and 900m above sea level they are among the highest in the region (and indeed, Europe). This leads to significant diurnal temperature variation during the growing season, with hot sunny days plunging to 14°C at night: perfect conditions for shaping Valduero’s trademark mix of fruit intensity with freshness, elegance and fine tannins.
