91 points James Suckling 2019
"A very plush and fleshy array of ripe plums and berries here. The palate has a super plush feel with dense and juicy ripe fruit. Great power and balance." James Suckling (2016 vintage)

AGNUS, is the signature range of wines, from Bodegas Valdelana. Represents the personality of Juan Jesús Valdelana the chief winemaker and owner of the estate. These selected wines are produced using the grapes only from our oldest vineyards, vineyards that are more than 50 years old.

"Every single aroma of our region is perceived in our full-bodied signature wines."

Harvested by hand during the second week of October. Collected in special boxes, each one weighing 20 kilos. Placed into a cold storage room at 5ºC for one day. Pre-fermentative maceration at low temperature and spontaneous alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. Aged for 12 months, using French oak barrels (50%) and Russian oak barrels (50%).

Mouthful, broad and powerful, marked character expressed when it enters the mouth, tactile sensations of pleasant fruits, tannins that make the swallow silky, fatty. Balsamic finish with a perfectly assembled fruit and wood. The whole is tasty, tannins of great nobility. Deep and powerful aftertaste, pure velvet. Just divine.
