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

The Reserva is Valenciso’s flagship wine, exuding character, elegance and a harmonious balance of fruit and subtle oak.  This wine offers an expressive bouquet infused with cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and plums, subtly sprinkled with spice, earth and leather; while on the palate, it delights with supple tannins, culminating in a satisfying, enduring 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. The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, followed by another 12 months in concrete. After aging, the wine was bottled and settled for natural sedimentation and stabilisation. This wine is not fined, nor filtered.
