Acclaim
“The 2019 Petra de Valpiedra is 100% Garnacha sourced from a single vineyard next to the Ebro River, in the Cenicero area of Rioja Alta. Aged for 1nine months in American and French oak barrels, it displays a garnet hue and presents aromas reminiscent of liqueur, with hints of herbs and ash overlaying a fruit layer. On the palate, it is dry and edgy, with tannins that are fairly searing, leaving a lingering impression of balsamic notes.” — Vinous, Apr 2024
“Deep garnet in color, this single-varietal Garnacha has a nose of black cherry, caramel and nutmeg. Bright fruit and soft baking spice flavors wrapped in silky tannins enliven the palate and drift into a cranberry and orange-zest finish.” — Wine Enthusiast, May 2024

Wine Production

After a dry summer the harvest was one month later than the previous one, and also as dry as during the summer, allowing thus an excellent grape sanity. Due to the green harvesting in summer, the concentration and quality of the grapes was extraordinary, a superior quality vintage for us.
