Bodega y Vinedos Valderiz Valdehermoso Roble

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Aged for 8 months in French oak barrels to bring out the tinta del país, this Valdehermoso is full of character, with intense aromas of well-ripened wild fruits and underlayers of spice and a certain smokiness. It is well-rounded on the mouth, with much of its body coming from smoothly presented tannins. It is very fruity with a hint of wood, and has a pleasant, lingering finish.

PAIRINGS

With its bold flavors, this is a wine that heavily favors roasts and grilled meats, especially steaks. Mexican food afficionados will enjoy this wine with heavy peppers and spices, as well as a whole slew of tomato-based saucy dishes.

NATURAL ASPIRATIONS

Valderiz aims to achieve a natural wine-making process, ensuring that the grapes are harmed as little as possible from harvest to fermentation, to aging, and to bottling. They use a combination of French and American oak barrels to create their signature taste. Today, their winery covers about 60 hectares of organic vineyards in the Ribera del Duero.
