Pago de Valdoneje Vinas Viejas
The grapes for Pago de Valdoneje Vinas Viejas are manually harvested from the estate’s original vineyard
plot that dates back to 1910; the vines here are more than a century old. After an intense sorting, only the
best bunches are fermented in stainless steel tanks followed by refinement in new French oak barrels for
eleven months. Unfiltered and unfined, this wine is intense cherry red and incredibly aromatic, exhibiting
aromas of blackberry and violet with subtle nuances of sweet tar imparted by the age of the vine and the
clay and sandy soils of the area. Perfectly balanced with silky fine tannins, the Vinas Viejas has incredible
depth and a uniquely persistent finish.
