Description

Valtier Reserva is the go-to wine for every fan of smooth, perfectly aged Spanish reds. It gains coveted Reserva status from patient ageing in barrel and bottle, and has a fine balance of red fruit, mellow complexity and oaky richness. Try it today!

Superb wood-aged Reserva. Deep dark red in colour with intense aroma of ripe plums, cherries and fine hints of vanilla from the oak aging. Elegant and full of flavour with cherry, strawberry and vanilla. Pleasant long finish is well balanced. Drinking brilliantly today!

Valtier Reserva hails from Utiel Requena, a wine region in Spain (Spanish Denominación de Origen (DO) located in the province of Valencia and is home of the indigenous Bobal variety, which produces dark, velvety reds, in this case blended with 50% Tempranillo. Made by our friends Faustino Rivero and sourced from low-yielding vines with an average age of 40 years sourced from stony, high altitude (700m) vineyards. Indiginous yeast fermentation, maturation for 12 months in American and French oak barriques and 18 months in bottle is a recipe for fine Reserva wine yet this deep-coloured, intensely flavoured, silky-soft red is amazing value for money. Perfect drinking now -2 years.

A good drop that pairs with many different foods. Smooth, easy drinking that is also surprisingly complex.

Tried this wine last night and thought it very good value (once it had warmed up a bit as they recommend on the label)

Judy - 11/07/2019

A very pleasant Spanish red, easy and smooth. Perfect to drink now, although would expect it to cellar for a few years.
