Valderiz 2020

Valderiz 2020 is a high-quality red made by Bodegas y Viñedos Valderiz in Spain's prestigious Ribera del Duero region.

Made from Tempranillo with a small percentage of Albillo, Valderiz 2020 is a pleasant, complex red on the nose, with aromas of blueberries, cocoa, coffee and cherries. On the palate it's pleasant and broad, again with notes of blueberries, cocoa and coffee.

The winery's story goes back to 1980, when Tomás decided to continue the family tradition and devote himself entirely to the vineyards, beginning to shape what is today one of the most recognised vineyard holdings in Ribera del Duero.

The winery has 60 hectares of vineyards planted by Tomás Esteban and 10 hectares planted by his father that he has preserved, made up of more than 35 bush-trained plots on different soils.

Valderiz 2020 has been very well received by international critics, consolidating the winery's reputation for excellence in Ribera del Duero.
