Tomas Esteban - Bodegas Valderiz

The powerful Tomas Esteban from the pen of Bodegas Valderiz enters the glass with a dense ruby red. At the edge also shows a color transition to garnet red. The first nose of Tomas Esteban reveals notes of plum, morello cherry and mulberry. The fruity hints of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel aging such as beech smoke, whole nut chocolate and brown bread.

This red from Bodegas Valderiz is perfect for all wine drinkers who like as little residual sweetness in the wine as possible. However, it never shows itself meager or brittle, but round and smooth. This velvety and powerful red wine is full-bodied and complex on the palate. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Tomas Esteban flatters the palate with a soft feeling, without lacking juicy liveliness. The finale of this red wine from the wine-growing region of Castilla - León, more precisely from Ribera del Duero DO, finally thrills with extraordinary reverberation.
