Wine Description

Cantos de Valpiedra, made entirely of Tempranillo harvested in mid-September, is fermented in stainless steel tanks with a 16-day maceration, before aging for 12 months in French and American oak barrels. It is a rich, round example of this famous Spanish style. In Finca Valpiedra the soil type is formed by a layer of pebble stones and limestone that give its name to the wines.

“The 2019 Cantos de Valpiedra is a Tempranillo sourced from a single vineyard on the banks of the Ebro River, in the Cenicero area of Rioja Alta. Aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels, this garnet wine unfolds aromas of sour cherry and strawberry, complemented by hints of herbs and tomato leaf over a vanilla layer. On the palate, it is dry and juicy, with fine, reactive tannins adding a rich texture to a bold mouthfeel. This is a savory Rioja.” — Vinous, Apr 2024

“This delightful wine is garnet-colored in the glass with aromas of ripe red cherry, red plum and saddle leather with flavors of ripe red and black fruits, dried savory herbs, cedar shavings and tobacco leaf. The tannins are silky, the mouthfeel is rounded and the finish is persistent.” — Wine Enthusiast, Mar 2024

The Ebro River creates four big meanders in its way through La Rioja. One of them, between Fuenmayor y Cenicero, two towns devoted to viticulture, is the one where the 80 hectares of vineyard of our winery are planted.

Finca Valpiedra is a spectacular landscape divided into three terraces which slopes down to the river itself, and that our technical team has differentiated into fourteen plots, with altitudes between 406 and 427 meters.
