Our commitment to our roots. We rediscover one of the most authentic flavors of Rioja. Much like the vineyard it comes from, the first thing that will attract you to this wine made from 100% Maturana is the view: a spectacular bright cherry red that will light up your glass.
It is a unique and recognizable grape variety in the vineyard and in the glass. Its small berries give wines with a deep color and an aroma full of nuances (black licorice, cocoa, sweet smoky notes). But all this intensity transforms into softness and finesse on the palate, with surprising balance and persistence.
VINEYARD: 8,2 hectare vineyard located in Yécora (Álava), 500 meters above sea level, on three terraces with views of Oyón and Logroño to the south and the Sierra Cantabria to the north. Due to its privileged conditions and the characteristics of each of its three terraces, it was chosen, after careful evaluation, to replant the Maturana.
This minority and exclusive Rioja grape variety was rediscovered in 35 vines of a century-old vineyard after many vineyards and many indigenous varieties were lost in the first third of the XNUMXth century due to phylloxera.
Bodegas Valdemar, as on other occasions, did pioneering work trying to recover this variety, planting it in 2001 and commercializing a first unique variety in the 2005 vintage, the Balcón de Pilatos terroir being the best environment for make this enigmatic and rare variety shine.
