Product Notes

Finca Valpiedra Cantos de Valpiedra is a full-bodied red wine hailing from La Rioja, Spain. It is affectionately called the "little brother" of the estate's flagship wine, Finca Valpiedra Reserva. Made from 100% Tempranillo grapes, this wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of French (50%) and American (50%) oak barrels, creating a fruity and spicy aroma with delicate hints of vanilla. On the palate, it is impressively structured with a silky texture and a velvety finish. Its well-integrated tannins make it a perfect complement to hearty fare like grilled meats, rich stews, and flavorful cheeses. Enjoy this wine now or cellar it for a few years for peak maturity.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Intense purple colour. Violet glints with abundant tear, colourful and dense. Nose: Highly aromatic with black fruit and ripe sloe notes. Very mineral that, together with the vanilla, spice and tobacco notes from the barrel, give a great character to this wine. The Tempranillo variety is very emphasized and well incorporated with the barrel. Palate: Oily, rich and intense with a sweetness right across the mouth, showing great finesse. Well-balanced acidity with the alcohol, with the typical “Valpiedra” freshness predominant. A long, cool and mineral finish, with a touch of fine woods.

About the Winery

Finca Valpiedra

Finca Valpiedra is a renowned Spanish winery that shows the true spirit and level of entrepreneurship. It started as a project and endeavour of Familia Martínez Bujanda in 1994, who began the construction and establishment using a prestigious family-owned vineyard. 

Finca Valpiedra follows a classic and authentic Bordeaux style. It owns a single vineyard and produces four wines. Also, the grapes used in winemaking get sourced exclusively from the estate itself. 

Finca Valpiedra is a part or member of the Grand Crus Association of Spain or the Asociación Grandes Pagos de España. It has been so since the beginning. It consists of a small and exclusive group of multiple wineries. They come from all across the Spanish territory. All of them own single vineyards and possess unique personalities. It has the ability and capability to defend the authentic characters and attributes of the country’s terroirs. 

The vineyard owned by Finca Valpiedra spreads across 80 hectares of land. It remains located in one of the big meanders created by the Ebro River between Fuenmayor and Cenicero. The exotic location allows the winery to enjoy the spectacular view of the landscape that remains divided and segregated into three terraces. 

Finca Valpiedra enjoys a beneficial microclimate that is half-Mediterranean and half-Atlantic. It allows the summers to be sunny and warm, and the winters are long and cold. In turn, it stimulates the production and development of various polyphenols and tannin in the grapes. All these provide colour, longevity, and taste to the produced wines. 

The cold and moist breeze that flows through the night prevents the grapevines from dehydrating. Moreover, the risk of frost gets lowered due to the proximity to the sea. Overall, the strategic location of Finca Valpiedra and its suitable microclimate help develop a perfect profile for the winery’s wines.
