Familia Valdelana (Rioja) 2020 Crianza

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 fith generation. Riddled with history, the estate boasts spectacular underground cellars dating from the 15th century.

Deep cherry-red colour; clean and bright. Fruity on the nose, with some balsamic notes and some oak in the background. Blueberries and wild blackberries integrated with oaky notes vanilla or cinnamon. Fruit and oak perfectly blended on the palate; powerful and elegant wine. Long and intense aftertaste.

Vines of over 40 years grown in chalk, clay soils. Crianza wines are aged for 12 months, using French oak barrels (50%) and American oak barrels (50%)

We just love rosé here at winesale and Spain makes some beauties. Often offering better value than thier French counterparts.

Highgly aromatic intensity, showing some notes of pomegranate, watermelon, blueberries and redcurrants against a rose background. Fresh and creamy mouth-feel; pleasant acidity leading to a long, fruity aftertaste.
