About the Manufacturer
Valduero winery is one of the first in the Ribera del Duero region. It was created by Gregorio García Álvarez in a small village, Gumiel de Mercado, in the province of Burgos, right in the center of Ribera del Duero. At that time, there were only about half a dozen wineries in the region, which, despite the long-standing winemaking traditions of the area and the high reputation of local wines among connoisseurs, were largely unknown to the general public. Today, the winery is run by Yolanda García Viadero, the founder's daughter. An agronomist by education, she places great importance on cultivating the Tinto Fino grape, describing it as "exceptional and unique in Spain, with a strong sense of terroir in its character, which is expressed in the structure and acidity of the wines that are on par with the best wines in the world." Yolanda also believes that great grapes need time and care in their development to showcase their best qualities, and that wines must be excellent in every respect to provide enjoyment to the consumer. For this reason, Valduero wines are stored and aged at the winery until they achieve great harmony and balance, which always depends on the strength of the drinks. For this reason, Valduero focuses on producing Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva wines. The aging of the wines takes place in an ancient 17th-century cellar that is up to 40 meters deep and covers an area of 1 square kilometer.
