Bodegas Valdaya is situated in Sotillo de la Ribera. We manage 15 Ha of vineyard in the heart of Ribera del Duero. Our soils produce low fertility and situated at 900 metres above sea level, unbeatable conditions for our Tempranillo, high concentration and quality grapes. We have the best conditions so that Valdaya enjoys a great terroir, because of our good work in the vineyard and our care of our grapes until the very end, we produce a wine with its own identity, character whilst maintaining, above all, the typicality of a Tempranillo. We have modernized our winery with the aim of carrying out parceling vinification adapting the elaboration technique to the qualities of the grape, with the objective of expressing our terroir in the most natural form possible. We produce four types of wine, depending on the vintage, yield and age of our vineyards; producing a fruity and expressive young wine, a gentle oaky wine that maintains its freshness in your mouth, a subtle yet complex Crianza and an original and elegant Select Vintage for the most demanding palates.
