About this vintage

Valbuena 5º 2013 — A cool, atypical year with a late harvest. Atlantic, very aromatic wines with high acidity and medium structure.

Tasting note

A cool, atypical year with a late harvest, giving the most Atlantic and graceful Valbuena. Bright, medium-deep garnet. A nose of crunchy red fruit, pomegranate, flowers and a minty balsamic note, with the oak barely hinted at. On the palate it is slender, fresh and easy to drink, with fine tannins, high acidity and a fragrant finish. A filigree Valbuena, ideal for a versatile table; to enjoy now.

Ageing

Five years from harvest: 18 months in new barrels, 18 months in used barrels and 24 months in bottle before release.

Grapes

Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) 91%, Merlot 7%, Malbec 2%

Food pairing

Roast red meats, small game, milk-fed lamb, aged sheep's cheeses and traditional Spanish stews.

Serving

16–18 °C. Decant at least one hour before serving.
