Tasting notes Gran Valtravieso 2019

Red wine Aged in wood. 12 meses en barricas de roble and 12 mes en depósitos de cemento.

Gran Valtravieso 2019 presents itself in a vibrant cherry red hue with ruby glints that captivate the eye and foreshadow the richness of its character. As you approach, it envelops you with a fresh aroma that conjures juicy black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by subtle mineral notes that add depth. On the palate, its entry is smooth and silky, revealing a creamy texture that caresses the taste buds. The finish is long and persistent, with well-integrated tannins that leave a sensation of fullness. Ideal for those seeking a wine with complexity and elegance, distinguished by its balance and refinement.

About Gran Valtravieso

Sometimes, grand projects do not stem from a long lineage of winemaking or an ancient heritage, but rather from a curious blend of serendipity, intuition, and well-understood stubbornness. The case of Bodegas Valtravieso epitomises this. A family tale that evolved into one of the benchmark names in Ribera del Duero.

Behind it stands Pablo González Beteré, an agronomist by training, originally from Madrid, and, above all, someone who never envisioned ending up in a winery... until Ribera del Duero crossed his path. The family did not hail from a wine background, yet wine had long been a part of their daily life. At those family tables where, as he recalls, his grandfather would introduce it almost symbolically, initially, with just a few drops in the siphon.

The connection with the region was immediate. So much so that even before owning a winery, they were contemplating starting a small project in the Ribera. But fate hastened the plan. In 2002, the opportunity arose to acquire Valtravieso, a private estate with a few hectares of vineyard that had been operating as a winery for merely nine years. And that is where it all begins.

The philosophy was clear from the outset: to express the landscape of the calcareous plateau of Ribera del Duero. In fact, Valtravieso was established in 1983 as one of the region's pioneering projects with its own vineyard, advocating a more precise and less interventionist style than was customary at the time. Today, this concept remains its backbone.

A perfect example is Gran Valtravieso. It originates from the La Revilla vineyard, situated at an altitude of 915 metres, where the tinto fino vines are approximately 25 years old and thrive on limestone soils with some clay veins. It is a harsh, exposed landscape where the climate reigns unchallenged. Harvesting is done by hand, in small crates, aiming to preserve the quality of the grapes to the utmost.

In the winery, vinification is conducted separately according to soil type. The ageing process adheres to this same principle of precision: 12 months in French oak barrels (half of which are new) and another 12 months in concrete tanks, before spending a final year in the bottle. Time, patience, and respect for the wine's evolution.

Gran Valtravieso is a red wine that offers depth, tension, and balance. A limited production wine with great ageing potential, demonstrating that a small project, when pursued with rigour and ambition, can achieve remarkable results.
