Based in the dramatic landscape of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"131\"\u003eWalla Walla Valley\u003c\/b\u003e, Washington State, this stunning venture is the brainchild of the Martínez Bujanda family, who have been making acclaimed Rioja since 1889. Intrigued by the unique potential of the Pacific Northwest, they established a state-of-the-art winery in Washington, becoming the first European dynasty to build a non-sparkling winery in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe terroir here offers a thrilling playground for premium winemaking. Nestled in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, the vineyards benefit from hot, sun-drenched summer days that fully ripen the fruit, balanced by cool desert nights that lock in mouth-watering acidity. The soils, formed by ancient glacial floods, consist of deep silt-loam and fractured basalt. This unique earth forces the vines to dig deep for water, resulting in low yields of intensely concentrated grapes that translate directly into bold, expressive pours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eWhile the family relies on five generations of traditional craftsmanship, their approach in the cellar adapts beautifully to Washington's bold fruit profile. \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"158\"\u003eWashington State Syrah\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"185\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/b\u003e take centre stage in this collection, displaying a perfect balance of rich, dark fruit flavours and complex, savoury structures. The winemaking team employs meticulous small-lot fermentation and precise French oak ageing to ensure the natural power of the fruit is framed by velvety tannins, making these bottles incredibly rewarding to drink today or cellar for a special occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eBeyond the liquid in the bottle, the estate is breaking new ground in how a modern winery operates. Built from the ground up to be fully accessible, the destination incorporates inclusive design principles ensuring everyone can enjoy the space without barriers. This forward-thinking philosophy matches the liquid itself—vibrant, inclusive, and deeply rooted in a narrative that stretches from the historic hills of Spain to the rugged, breathtaking horizons of the American Northwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"7\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVALDEMAR ESTATES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"valdemar-estates-entre-nosotros-cabernet-sauvignon","title":"Valdemar Estates Entre Nosotros Cabernet Sauvignon 2021","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThis exceptional red represents a thrilling bridge between old-world restraint and new-world power. Crafted by \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"111\"\u003eValdemar Estates\u003c\/b\u003e, a venture born from five generations of Spanish Rioja heritage, the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"197\"\u003eEntre Nosotros Cabernet Sauvignon \u003c\/b\u003eshowcases the absolute best of Washington State winemaking.

The palate backs this up with powerful black fruit flavours, cleverly enhanced by a complex, savoury twist of roasted coffee beans, earthy gravelly undertones, and a hint of walnut. Thanks to a warm growing season, the mouthfeel is incredibly smooth and velvety, yet perfectly focused by a vibrant streak of natural acidity.To round out the blend, the winemakers have woven in small amounts of Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Syrah, before ageing the liquid for nineteen months in fine French oak barrels. The result is a medium-to-full-bodied masterpiece with fine-grained, firm tannins that provide a long, savoury finish. It is a fantastic match for hearty weekend dining—pour it alongside a pan-seared ribeye steak, roasted lamb chops seasoned with rosemary, or a rich, earthy mushroom risotto.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[#intro]\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBold Washington State Cabernet combines intense dark fruit with smooth, velvety old-world structure...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valdemar Estates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58295720771965,"sku":"A21VALDEMARESTNOSOTROSCS","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/EntreNosotrosCabernetSauvignonBT.jpg?v=1781713228"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/collections\/Valdemar_Estates_Wine_Bottle_Closeup_Image.jpg?v=1781712707","url":"https:\/\/hic.wine\/collections\/valdemar-estates.oembed","provider":"Hic!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
