Valduero 6 Años Reserva 2016 is one of Bodegas Valduero's most iconic wines, a red that reflects the grandeur of Ribera del Duero through prolonged and meticulous aging. Produced only in exceptional vintages, it comes from Tinto Fino vineyards over 40 years old, located in poor, low-yield soils. Its time in barrel and bottle for over six years makes it a wine of unique character, elegant, and with extraordinary aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Cherry red color with garnet rim. The nose shows great aromatic complexity with notes of ripe black fruits, licorice, cocoa, leather, and balsamic touches. On the palate, it is elegant, full-bodied, with silky tannins, accompanied by a balanced acidity that maintains its freshness. The finish is long, deep, and persistent, with hints of sweet spices and ripe fruit.

Pairing

Ideal with red meats and game, traditional stews, Castilian roasts, and long-aged cured cheeses.
