VALENCISO RIOJA RESERVA 2016

Style: Savoury & Detailed

I tasted two impressive Reservas from Compania Bodeguera de Valenciso. The company was founded in 1998, the name conjoining the family titles of Luis Valentin and Carmen Enciso. Their focus is aimed upon the vineyard, which is around 17 hectares in size. Their red vines are exclusively Tempranillo and at their winery in the village of Ollauri, they mature their reserva in French oak with approximately one-third renewed each year. There is also a white wine, although the quantity is minuscule and I was unable to taste it. If you have to classify it stylistically you would place it in the ¿modern¿ Rioja category, although I personally would simply classify it under ¿delicious¿ Rioja. NEAL MARTIN, Wine Advocate 2012
