About Vallobera Crianza

When one is young, they feel invincible. There are no restraints, no fear, and an abundance of energy to fall and rise again repeatedly. This blend of recklessness and drive is what shapes many genuine wine stories. The tale of Javier San Pedro Rández is one such narrative.

He became a father at just twenty and was already working alongside his father, who was involved in bulk wine production. At that age—as he himself acknowledges—one believes they are the smartest, the strongest, and the tallest in the world. Yet wine, much like life, teaches slowly and through hard knocks.

At barely twenty, he made a pivotal decision: to leave the family business. He rented a winery and started from scratch, filling unlabelled bottles as was done in the past in the winemaking world. A six-spout filler, a hand corker, and countless hours of work were the starting point. Thus, without any fabricated heroics, his own story began. Three years later, at just twenty-three, he was already producing 30,000 cases of wine.

Today, Vallobera boasts 108 hectares of vineyards, with an average age of 25 years, cultivated with a clear philosophy: respect for the vineyard, the pursuit of balance, and an identity expressed in both fresh and carefree wines as well as more classic and structured offerings.

One of the wines that best embodies this philosophy is Vallobera Crianza, crafted from tempranillo vineyards situated at an altitude of 635 metres, where freshness and slow maturation make all the difference.

The winemaking process begins with destemmed grapes and a pre-fermentation maceration of three days at 13–14 °C, accompanied by extended pump-overs. Fermentation occurs over about 10 days, between 25 and 27 °C, with particular attention paid to preserving the purity of the primary aromas.

The wine completes its journey with 14 months of ageing in French oak barrels, followed by a further 6 months of resting in the bottle, refining its structure and gaining complexity without losing freshness.

Vallobera Crianza is the embodiment of an approach to wine that stems from early effort, constant learning, and never losing the energy of that young man who dared to start from scratch.
