For the past three years, Bodega Valdemar has received the \"Critics Choice Award\" from Wine Spectator, one of the most prestigious awards given by specialized journalists. Furthermore, the winery's most influential wine critic, Robert Parker, rated it \"excellent.\" That's saying something.\n\n\n \nThe grapes are harvested from two of Bodega Valdemar's own vineyards. They are harvested late, in the second week of October, to wait for the tannins to reach their full ripeness. After harvest, a rigorous selection process follows. After fermentation, the wine is aged for twelve months in a combination of French and American oak, with French oak accounting for three-quarters and American oak for one-quarter. This gives the wine a wonderfully soft and refined character.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Perfect ripe tannins for Inspiracion Valdemar Seleccion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAnd that makes this Inspiracion Seleccion one of the finest wines from Rioja.

Selecting precisely those grapes that are qualitatively suitable for making modern Rioja is a unique skill. Maturana is one such grape. Historically, it was used for blending with the region's most important grape, Tempranillo. Valdemar has chosen to create a distinctive wine from it, and it is one with plenty of character.\n\n\n \nThe grapes are harvested by hand in the first week of October. After a rigorous selection process, they are pressed. Fermentation follows, after which the wine matures for an impressive 16 months in American oak barriques. The oak is dried for three years before being used. This gives this Balcon de Pilatos Maturana a soft and refined character, perfectly rounding out the beautiful acidity. A truly special wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Enjoy the Conde Valdemar Balcon de Pilatos Maturana\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The aroma reveals intense, sultry fruit, a hint of pepper, a light roast, coffee and chocolate, plums, a pleasant touch of spice, and a touch of delicate vanilla cream.

It's a series of wines that explore the easternmost and westernmost regions of Rioja. For this white version, a blend of 50 percent Maturana Blanca and 50 percent Tempranillo Blanco was chosen. This blend was selected from vineyards in the westernmost part of Rioja Alta, where an extreme climate prevails, and aging in French barrels has resulted in a fresh and balanced wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Quality Riojas from Ramon Bilbao\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nRamon Bilbao Winery was founded in 1924. The winery has been passed down through generations. Everything within the winery is focused on producing the highest quality red and white wines. The Tempranillo grape generally forms the basis of their Rioja wines. In the winery, they combine modern techniques with ancient Spanish traditions. The climate is typically warmer than in Rioja Alta, yet the high altitude in Rioja Baja ensures cooler nights, allowing the grapes to develop good acidity.\n\n\n \nThe vineyards are located at an altitude of 450 meters in Cuzcurrita. Thanks to the extreme continental climate, this white wine retains its acidity and freshness. The vines are planted on shallow alluvial and gravelly soils. Harvest usually takes place in early October. Once arrived at the winery, a strict selection follows, followed by cold maceration. The wine is then aged for six months in French oak barrels and then for a further twelve months in bottle.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A fresh Limite Norte Blanco\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n But the long wait is rewarded with a beautiful pale yellow wine with aromas of citrus, stone fruit, and hints of white flowers.
