The winery at Finca Valpiedra works more along the lines of a Bordeaux château than a typical Rioja bodega and the estate is in fact the only Rioja winery to be a member of the 'Grands Pagos de España' - Great Single Estates of Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFINCA VALPIEDRA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.fincavalpiedra.com\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The official website of Finca Valpiedra Rioja\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FincaValpiedra\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow \u0026amp; Like Finca Valpiedra Rioja on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fincavalpiedra\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow Finca Valpiedra on Instagram\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"finca-valpiedra-rioja-reserva","title":"Finca Valpiedra Rioja Reserva 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe unique soils and climate of Rioja Alta give the Finca Piedra Rioja Reserva its inimitable style and character.

Notably, the oldest of the estate grows white grapes. Prior to 2016, the team at Valpiedra decided not to use these few grapes in their red Finca Valpiedra Reserva, but instead elaborate them separately in the production of this special limited edition white Rioja Reserva. The blend consists of Viura, Garnacha Blanca, Malvasía and Maturana Blanca grapes aged for 24 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. Finca Valpiedra Rioja Reserva Blanco is creamy, fresh and perfumed, with a great balance between body and acidity. A limited edition wine perfect for cellaring and one of the best whites from Rioja . It pairs very well with grilled fish, poultry and small game dishes (partridge and pheasant).
