Valdubon - Honoris de Valdubon

DESCRIPTION / TASTING NOTE

The working philosophy of Bodegas Valdubon is based on an exhaustive knowledge of their vineyards that allows them to design a customized plan for each plot. Honoris was born as the maximum expression of the union of their best old vines of Tempranillo and Merlot, a special elaboration and careful aging. The unhurried ageing offered by French wood gives aroma and structure and the wines are enriched with spicy tones at the same time as the palate becomes more rounded. The mouthfeel is full-bodied but soft, full of ripe tannins. Well balanced with a long and intense finish.

ABOUT PRODUCER

Located in Spain's celebrated Ribera del Duero region near the town of Milagros, the Valdubón estate sits on 100 acres of vineyard, all planted with Tempranillo. Valdubón has become one of the most respected wineries in the region, one whose dedication to producing the highest quality wines in each aging category—from the youngest Cosechas to the spicy Crianzas to the stately aged Reservas—stems from extensive attention in the vineyard in order to garner a deep understanding of each parcel. The wines of Valdubón are powerfully elegant, bold yet balanced, and finely structured, each revealing the impressive character of Tempranillo grown in Ribera del Duero.
