Top 10 Best Riojas of 2020 - Drinks Business

“A textbook Rioja Reserva for an extremely competitive price.”

"If you want to try a textbook Rioja reserva for an extremely competitive price, then Viña Valoria is a brilliant place to go. Crammed with all the hallmarks of this popular Rioja style, it features plenty of ripe red cherry fruit and spice from the Rioja Alta-sourced Tempranillo, a touch of leather and sweet balsamic from the ageing process, and plenty of vanilla and dry tannin from the 30 months it spends in American oak barrels. Neither heavy nor thin, it makes for a surprisingly refreshing full-flavoured glass of red."

Bodegas Valoria is located in the Municipality of Fuenmayor, barely 5 kilometres from Logroño, right on the road to Santiago very near the Grajera Natural Park. Valoria was founded by the Pérez Foncea family in 1860 and is the 6th oldest and one of the best-known wineries of La Rioja. Originally oriented towards the local market the winery was purchased by family-owned Navarro Lopez in 2010 and its production facilities expanded to 1800 barrels. The winery now exports 40% of its wines to more than 72 countries all over the world. Rioja’s signature variety Tempranillo is hand harvested from mature vines sourced from Rioja Alta vineyards around the town of Fuenmayor. Temperature controlled fermentation and maceration is carried out in stainless steel to preserve fruit freshness before maturation  for 12 months in French and American oak barrels and at least 12 months bottle aged before release.
