Who makes it
Tempranillo is the dominant grape at Bodegas Valderiz, an Esteban family producer. Tomás Esteban founded the vineyard operations in 1980. The wines carry CAECyL organic certification in later vintages.
Where it grows
Bodegas Valderiz is based in Castilla y León, Spain, with Tempranillo dominating production.
What they make
Valderiz, Tomás Esteban, Chiripa, Juegalobos, Valdehermoso and Albillo are the named wines in the portfolio. Tempranillo dominates production. Most aged wines use a typical mix of 80% French oak and 20% American oak from premium coopers. Barrel ageing exposes wine to small amounts of oxygen over time and can contribute spice, vanilla, toast or cedar.
