Valdelacierva

Rioja Tempranillo and Garnacha rated by major critics.

Valdelacierva produces wines from Rioja, Spain's most celebrated red wine region. The winery focuses on two of the region's signature varieties: Tempranillo and Garnacha, both grapes that thrive in Rioja's continental climate and limestone-rich soils. The Valdelamillo Tempranillo Reserva and Montepedriza Garnacha represent the winery's core offerings, each earning an average prestige rating of 92 points across assessments by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, and Decanter. The Alfar Reserva Edicion Limitada, a Tempranillo-based limited release, follows at 91 points. These wines reflect Rioja's tradition of structured, age-worthy reds—Tempranillo delivering dark fruit, leather, and mineral complexity; Garnacha contributing ripe berry character and spice. Valdelacierva's portfolio demonstrates the depth and consistency possible within the region's established framework.
