There are wines that are crafted only in the finest vintages, and Valduero Dos Racimos Gran Reserva is among them.
Only the crème de la crème. Just two clusters from each vine (hence its name). Every detail is meticulously attended to during the creation of this single-varietal tempranillo, distinguished by its extensive ageing over several years, making it one of the most exclusive wines from Bodegas Valduero.
Valduero Dos Racimos Gran Reserva originates from El Peñón and El Cascorral, two estates located in the Burgos village of Gumiel del Mercado, within the DO. Ribera del Duero, where vineyards over 70 years old are found. These ancient vines, with low yields but exceptional quality, thrive in clay and limestone soils, at altitudes ranging from 820 to 888 metres, and are cultivated with the utmost care.
Understandably, clusters of such quality must be tended to with extreme care, which is why the harvest is carried out manually, with the grapes being transported to the winery. There, once again, Valduero Dos Racimos Gran Reserva undergoes an exhaustive selection process and the grapes are crushed, producing the harvest pulp which is then transferred to fermentation tanks. Once the Valduero Dos Racimos Gran Reserva wine is achieved, it is racked into barrels where it will undergo an extended ageing process over several years. This touch, which adds to the exclusivity of Valduero Dos Racimos Gran Reserva, enhances the characteristics of this red, which complements its maturation with several more years in the cellar.
Deemed excellent, few wines from the Ribera del Duero can compare to Valduero Dos Racimos Gran Reserva. Hurry, as the production is extremely limited!
