Fincas Valdemacuco is the first foray outside Rioja for Bodegas Valdemar. This Rioja producer was established in 1889, and have poured over a century of experience into this new venture from Spain's other great Tempranillo-producing region.

The grapes come from selected vineyards in the Nava de Roa district near the Duero river itself. The soil is sandy loam with a little gravel.

The wine was aged for twelve months in French oak barrels, before bottling the second summer following the harvest.

Bodegas Valdemar

The roots of Bodegas Valdemar go back to 1889 and Joaquin Martínez Bujanda, and it remains an independent estate, specialising in Rioja. They are committed to using 100% estate-grown fruit, which has allowed Valdemar both to keep quality consistent and also to experiment with different sites and obscure grape varieties. Unusually for Rioja, all the grapes used by Bodegas Valdemar come from estate vineyards (290 hectares of them). The range of wines makes the most of this consistency and flexibility, from unoaked entry-level Riojas bursting with flavour, to dense and complex rarities.
