Gran Reservas are always special – made only in great vintages with the finest grapes, and given extra TLC in the cellar. But this is truly exceptional – an exclusive release from one of Rioja’s most highly prized cellars, Bodegas Valdemar.

Valdemar is run by the Martínez Bujanda clan – a true Riojan dynasty that stretches back five generations. Proprietor Jesús Martínez Bujanda took parcels of his finest, strawberry scented Tempranillo and added Graciano and Garnacha (for extra aromatic complexity and freshness), before tucking it away in expensive oak barrels for over 24 months. The result is a remarkable Gran Reserva with subtle aromas of roasted black fruits, lifted by elegant floral and vanilla notes. The palate boasts an intense core of ripe raspberry and blackberry with a long toasty oak finish. Jesús has sent precious few cases of this luxurious gem, so be sure to reserve your share soon – then tuck some away for a special occasion. Glorious with a fine rack of lamb.

"With a brace of Golds and a trio of Silvers, this is a generous donor to the Bujanda trophy cabinet" Beth Willard
