Rioja is the crown jewel of Spanish reds, and one of our new favorites is the 2017 Finca Valdepoleo from Bodegas Pujanza. Grown on 40-year-old vines from the winery’s flagship Valdepoleo vineyard in Laguardia, raised in French oak, and meticulously barrel-selected, it’s a gorgeous red that shows off its stellar terroir through the round, supple style that makes Rioja one of the world’s go-to regions for incredible red-wine value. If you've followed our Wine Buyer offers for many years, you know how much we value elevation when it comes to these world class reds. Valdepoleo sits at around 2000 feet, awash in fresh mountain breezes from the Sierra Cantabria, and each plot in the vineyard is managed and vinified separately. It's also a five minute drive from Bodegas y Vinedos Artadi, where the Legendary Benjamin Romeo made some of the best wines of Spain. The modern precision here feels the same for a fraction of the price. Don't miss it!
"Tight and focused red. Blackberry, tar, black-cherry and cedar with some chocolate powder. It’s full-bodied with creamy, polished tannins and a long, intense finish. Very tight and polished." James Suckling, 95 Points
