Valbuena 5° 2018Vega Sicilia - 150 cl. (Magnum)

The Pies Negros cuvée is the "village wine" of the Artuke Brothers. The 6 vineyards it comes from are located in Abalos. They are all bush-vines, planted between 530 et 600 metres of altitude. Part of the grapes are still foot-trodden in the old fashion - hence the name of pies negros, black feet. The total production of this cuvée is 10.500 bottles.

This unique project was born on the occasion of La Buena Vida's 25th anniversary, in collaboration with Abel and Maite. The grapes come from some 2 hectares in San Vincente de la Sonsierra, mainly Tempranillo with some white grapes and Graciano round the corners. All these vines were planted between 1967 and 1969, except a little part of the Tempranillo (in 1978). The parcel lies between 540 and 560 metres above sea-level, very close to the famous Bardallo cru. the soils are clay and limestone, with some silty-loamish areas. The parcel's name comes from the 116 tenth-century tombs scattered around the vineyard. This is one of Abel's best and most beautiful vineyards, so exactly what we needed to produce a wine worthy of our 25th anniversary!

Launched in 2010, this is the entry-level wine of Pérez Pascuas, a wine that combines fruit and spices. Gavial is the feather used by the writers. A symbol of the authencity of this wine, faithful to its terroir.

Bodegas Roda's latest adventure. The project was born in 2006 and the first wine produced in 2008. The name Corimbo in itself is a token of rarity, since its meaning is a horizontal inflorescence. The production of the cuvée is 40,000 bottles.

A meaty, fleshy and powerful Ribera del Duero, typical of low yield grapes (28hl/ha). Téofilo is one of the few oenologists who uses 1 to 2% of the white Albillo grape in the blend.

A Crianza-level wine, but the bodega cannot use this term (nor Reserva) because its production is too limited.

This "village wine" (the village in question being San Vincente de la Sonsierra, in Rioja Alta) is a blend of four different parcels lying at some 500 metres above sea level.

This wine has a excellent reputation; it is the only cuvée in the Roda range that is made with different varietals.

A perfect union between the classic Ribera style and the meatier, fruitier, riper black berries of the new style. A typical Crianza wine.

One of their grand crus, from a vineyard in Fonzaleche, planted by Eva and her father in 1992. La Calleja is a classic in the making. Pure Tempranillo expression from authentic winemakers.

Artuke's "Premier Cru" wine. Their youngest vine, 3.9 hectares planted in 1999 in Samaniego, 700 metres above sea level - hence its particular character.

Here is an entry level Reserva with a great personality. It comes from other vineyards than the Remirez Reserva.

Macán Clásico is the result of a rigorous selection in the vineyard.Only the best parcels in San Vicente de la Sonsierra are used.

The new cult wine from the Ribera del Duero. A 100% Tempranillo made by Xavier Ausás, who was the oenologist and technical director at Vega Sicilia from 1988 to 2015.

Something very special ! This wine comes from a small vineyard in Sajazarra, of which 2/3 is over 100 years old and 1/3 is Tempranillo of 40 years old. The final field blend ensures we get a light very floral wine with lots of character.

This micro-vinification wine is made with hand selected grapes (berry by berry) from the best and oldest vines. The production is only one to two barrels per year. There are only 36 bottles available for the Belgian market!

A micro-vinification from selected grapes, berry by berry, in the best parcels of old vines. Only one to two barrels are produced each year, so only 36 (thirty-six!) bottles are available for Belgium. One of the only wines made with 100% Graciano.

One of the rarest wines of this great estate. This Gran Reserva is so in demand (for the 2004 was marked 100/100) that it has always been difficult to acquire. But we were able to secure a small allocation. A Gran Reserva worthy of its name.

This wine is as prestigious as its big brother Unico, although its blend is slightly different. It is named after the village where the estate lies. The vines are at least 20 years old.

This is the flagship go the estate. In the good vintages, the Unico represents one third of its total production. The prestigious cuvée has always been made the same way; the ageing process has never changed: the wien cannot be sold before it is 10 years old. The grapes of Unico come from older vines (average: 35 years) and the cuvée is only made in the best vintages.

The Reserva Especial is the top wine of the house: a blend of 3 vintages of the Unico cuvée. Ground glass bottle.
