Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Valtuille Vino de Villa is his village wine that has replaced his old Las Firmas starting in 2019. For this, he selects plots of old vines with a field blend of Mencía with some 10% Alicante Bouschet and 5% whites and other reds on sandy soils that tend to produce finer and more elegant wines. It fermented by plot in 1,000-liter vats with some full clusters and different macerations, ranging between 15 to 60 days. It matured in 500-liter oak barrels. The grapes were picked quite early, and all the wines have below 13% alcohol and very fine and elegant tannins, the signature of the cooler year. 5,215 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2022.

The grapes are harvested by hand, selecting the best grapes, which are microvinified with a stemmer. The macerations are long, between one month and 40 days.
Then spontaneous fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, and finally the wine is aged for a year in aged French oak barrels.
