  • Drawn from five sandy-soil parcels in Valtuille, each vinified separately before blending, this cuvée highlights the elegance and finesse of this historic village. Aged for 12 months in a combination of 500L barrels and 1,200L foudre, the wine gains texture without sacrificing purity. Fragrant and finely tuned, it shows red cherry, crushed florals and subtle earthy undertones. The sandy soils lend a silky tannin profile and lifted aromatics, while the élevage brings quiet depth and polish. A refined and expressive village wine that captures the understated charm of Valtuille.

  • "The village red 2023 Valtuille Vino de Villa comes from sandy soils on closer plots. This year, it's 85% Mencía, 10% Alicante Bouschet and 5% other white and red varieties like Bastardo, Sousón or Estaladiña. It fermented with some full clusters in 1,000-liter vessels and matured in 500-liter barrels. It's juicy, round, harmonious and fruit-driven, with freshness and elegance. It has a moderate 12.55% alcohol, a pH of 3.51 and 5.42 grams of acidity. 6,890 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2025." 94+ points Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous.com
