Winery notes (2014 Vintage)
"Wow! What a mouthful of delight! This is why we make Reserve level wines. It has an enticing bouquet of ripe dark fruits with notes of black cherry, candied, fruits and savoury components. This wine is very balanced with bright acid, mouth-coating tannins and subtle French Oak. This reserve is built to stand the test of time. Decant now and enjoy a fine holiday meal or tuck away in your cellar for decades of enjoyment.
The aromas include blackberry, lavender, oak and leather. There are intense flavours of ripe cherries, plums, caramel and savoury spices. Balanced acidity, integrated oak and concentrated fruit culminate to a lengthy finish."
Rioja’s signature variety Tempranillo is hand-harvested from mature vines sourced only from Rioja Alta vineyards.
After selecting the best small bunches, temperature controlled fermentation and maceration is carried out in stainless steel to preserve fruit intensity before maturation for 30 months in American oak barrels and 24 months bottle-age before release.
Bodegas Valoria is barely 5 kilometres from Logroño and was founded by the Pérez Foncea family in 1860. It is the 6th oldest and one of the best-known wineries of La Rioja. Originally oriented towards the local market the winery was purchased by family-owned Navarro Lopez in 2010 and its production facilities expanded to 1800 barrels. The winery now exports 40% of its wines to more than 72 countries all over the world.

"If you want to try a textbook Rioja reserva for an extremely competitive price, then Viña Valoria is a brilliant place to go. Crammed with all the hallmarks of this popular Rioja style, it features plenty of ripe red cherry fruit and spice from the Rioja Alta-sourced Tempranillo, a touch of leather and sweet balsamic from the ageing process, and plenty of vanilla and dry tannin from the 30 months it spends in American oak barrels. Neither heavy nor thin, it makes for a surprisingly refreshing full-flavoured glass of red."
