Valparaíso Crianza 2023 is produced under the guidance of Rubén Provedo, a winemaker with experience in bodegas of the calibre of Tobelos or Numanthia. It originates from 100% Tempranillo vines over 30 years old. It will be enjoyed to the fullest by enthusiasts of red wines with high concentration and freshness.
Are you looking for a crianza with structure and length to accompany a fine meal? Valparaíso Crianza 2023, from the D.O. Ribera del Duero, responds with a 100% Tempranillo aged for 14 months in French oak barrels.
The grapes come from vineyards with an average age well over 30 years, planted in calcareous-clay soils and marked by a continental climate, with long and very cold winters and short and very warm summers. This combination promotes a slow maturation and a balanced expression of the fruit, very much in line with the character of the region.
Bodegas Valparaíso works from a vision that unites tradition and precision, with a classic production based on destemming and maceration with the skins. The result is a red wine that clearly reflects the winery's style and the identity of Ribera del Duero.

Winemaking
Red wine 100% Tempranillo (Tinta del País) hand-harvested. Destemmed grapes and ferment at an average temperature of 24/26 º C. Once fermentation is complete, the wine remains in contact with the skins for 7 days. The malolactic fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, new and semi-new, with medium toast.
Aging
The wine continues to age in that French oak barrel for 14 months, with rackings every 4 months. Thereafter the wine continues ageing and final bottling in the bottle for a minimum of 9 months before release to the market.
Description
These grapes come from our own vineyards with an average age of over thirty years, calcareous-clay soils and calcareous bedrock at 975 metres above sea level. Finca Pesquera (Valladolid), of 33ha. Selection of 10 hectares from the uppermost part and soil seam with pebbled stones. After veraison it allows quicker maturation while maintaining the acidity. The characteristics of these soils confer body and structure to our wines. A markedly continental climate (long and very cold winters, short and very hot summers) fundamentally influences colour synthesis, as well as the varietal expression of Tempranillo.
Age
Made from Tempranillo from old vines, with an average age of over 30 years.
View
Cherry red colour with violaceous edges.
Nose
Complex, intense, mineral character, red fruits such as raspberry, liquorice and roasted notes, clove and cigar box.
Mouth
Powerful, fresh, complex and elegant. Mature tannins, fleshy on the palate and a long-lasting finish.
Bodegas Valparaíso was founded with the idea of creating modern and high-quality wines. For this reason, production is kept at a very low volume, aiming to produce authentic wines from Ribera del Duero. The winery has the capacity to produce 300,000 bottles annually.
Its journey began in the year 2000 in Quintana del Pidio (Burgos). The facilities are located on a hill overlooking the village and are supplied by 60 hectares of their own vineyards, mostly planted with tempranillo, some of which date back to the early 20th century and are planted in goblet style.
This old vineyard is located near the winery in Quintana del Pidio, while the new trellised vineyards are found in some of the most highly regarded areas of the appellation: in Pesquera (Valladolid) at an altitude of 925 m, and in Sotillo (Burgos) at 825 m. The grapes from each vineyard ferment separately, and the blending is done at the beginning of the aging process. In the barrel room, French oak (25%) and American oak (75%) coexist.
