The Bodegas Valduero 6 Anos 'Valduero' Reserva Premium undergoes a meticulous aging process for 6 years, both in barrels and bottles, with special care taken during its patient aging in our ancient caves. This exceptional wine is only crafted during outstanding vintages and is made using a completely artisanal harvest, where the bunches are selected in the vineyard. It then matures for 3 years in oak barrels from 4 different origins, within the serene atmosphere of our underground caves.
