Valduero is a family winery and was one of the first to be founded in the D.O. Ribera del Duero. It was created by Gregorio García Álvarez in the small village of Gumiel de Mercado, which is located 16km to the northeast of Aranda de Duero, right in the heart of Ribera del Duero, in the province of Burgos. At that time, there were only about half a dozen wineries in the region and despite its long tradition of winemaking and the reputation among connoisseurs for the quality of its wines, it was largely unknown to the public.
Yolanda García Viadero, daughter of the founder and a trained agronomist, discovered at that time the traditional viticulture of the region and also the Tinto Fino variety that is a product of its vines. She describes this grape as being “exceptional and unique in Spain, with a strong sense of terroir in its character, which gives structure and acidity to the wines, putting them on the same level as the best wines in the world”.

Tasting Notes
This is a very high layer cherry red wine; in a still glass, we can notice a complexity of aromas and an extraordinary intensity. Once we move the wine through the walls of the glass, the aromas of fruit and wood assemble and memories of ripe red fruits, leather, toast, and vanilla begin to appear. In the mouth it is a well-structured and balanced wine, the integration of alcohol and acidity is excellent and a different aftertaste to the classic Valduero range can be appreciated.
