2020 Valenciso Rioja Reserva

The 2020 Valenciso Rioja Reserva is a polished, elegant expression of modern Rioja, made with a focus on purity, balance, and finesse. Crafted by Compania Bodeguera de Valenciso, it reflects the region’s classic Reserva tradition while delivering a notably refined, contemporary style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Reserva typically shows a deep ruby colour with a bright, youthful edge. The nose is layered and inviting, offering ripe red and black berries, subtle spice, fine oak, and hints of dried herbs and tobacco. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied with a smooth, silky texture and fresh acidity that keeps the wine lively. Flavours of dark cherry, plum, cedar, and sweet spices unfold धीरे over a long, well-balanced finish. While already approachable, it should also develop gracefully over the next several years, gaining additional complexity and softness.

Production
Sourced from carefully selected Rioja vineyards, Valenciso’s style is rooted in classically expressive fruit with a strong sense of place. The winery is known for attentive vineyard work and precise cellar practices, aiming to preserve freshness and terroir character. Fermentation and ageing are carried out to highlight structure and elegance rather than heavy extraction, with Reserva maturation adding depth, spice, and integration.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled beef, manchego, mushroom dishes, and slow-cooked Mediterranean cuisine. Serve at 16–18°C for the best expression, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if serving young to allow the aromas and texture to open up fully.
