Valenciso epitomises excellence, crafting timeless expressions of Rioja that capture the very essence of the region's terroir.

10 Años Despusés (10 years later) exudes elegance and sophistication and is an exceptionally special, limited edition wine from Valenciso. Made from 100% Tempranillo grapes, the wine was bottled 10 years after harvest. This wine offers a delicately balanced nose of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and plums, with hints of spice, earth, and leather; while on the palate, it delights with fresh fruit, hints of tobacco, supple tannins and a lengthy finish.

The grapes were hand harvested from multiple different parcels within Rioja Alta, of low yielding vines on clay-limestone soil.  Once at the winery, only the best grapes were selected and fermented in concrete vats, where the wine rested and aged for 4 years. Following this, the wine was transferred and aged in French oak for approximately 4 years.  After aging, the wine was bottled and settled for natural sedimentation and stabilisation. This wine is not fined, nor filtered.
