Finca Valpiedra Reserva 1997 RED Spain

Martinez Bujanda are widely acclaimed by the world's leading wine experts as the makers of some of the most impressive Rioja around - Rioja expert John Radford calls them "a leading light" The Observer "outstanding". So if you're a Rioja fan make sure you get your hands on their Finca Valpiedra Reserva - Bujanda's prestige cuvee made in the smallest volumes from 'Valpiedra' a single premium vineyard and key to the wine's stellar reputation. Because they own the vineyard the family can control every aspect of production so the Tempranillo reaches levels of ripeness and flavour concentration other Bodegas simply cannot achieve - at once evident in every deliciously dark mouthful. A dash of Cabernet Sauvignon gives extra depth and an 18 month siesta in barrel adds layers of mellow complexity completing the masterpiece. Grab it while you can! "1997 was great in Rioja producing big succulent reds. 10 years' ageing gives a wonderfully mellow character to the waves of blackberry dark cherry and spice. Rich ripe and complex - a must for connoisseurs."
