About this vintage

Valbuena 5º 2016 — A long cycle with a mild spring and a balanced summer. Elegant, fresh, very well-defined wines.

Tasting note

A classic, balanced harvest that produces a Valbuena of great finesse. Medium-deep, bright ruby-garnet. Precise aromas of fresh red and black berries, violet, fine liquorice and discreet toast; elegance before power. On the palate it is fresh, juicy and proportioned, with silky tannins and an acidity that adds spark to the finish. Definition and drinkability; one of those Valbuenas you never tire of.

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.
