2021 Valdaya Mirum, Ribera del Duero

2021 Valdaya Mirum, Ribera del Duero

Over the past few years, Valdaya’s Mirum has skyrocketed to the very top echelon of Spanish wine. The grapes for Mirum are from to highly-prized parcels of old bush vines planted at 850 metres. In 2021, this showcases the very best of Ribera del Duero with a richness of purple fruit and sweet spice, with layers of rosemary, and garrigue. The chalky tannins frame the fruit beautifully, and the wine’s acidity is juicy and energetic.

Valdaya

Valdaya is the winery taking Spain’s Ribera del Duero by storm. Their wines have earned recognition from critics including Tim Atkin MW, Robert Parker and James Suckling. The secret is their focus on quality over quantity. Micro-fermentations of nine individual parcels of old-vine Tempranillo result in tiny quantities of world-class wines. The winery is family-owned by husband and wife Joaquín González and Elena López, but it is Marta Ramas and Miguel Fisac who lead the winemaking. Their studies took them from the University of Bordeaux, to winemaking stints in Bordeaux’s St-Emilion, California’s Napa valley and South Africa’s Cape Town, before they returned to their native Spain. Valdaya’s vineyards are located over 850 metres above sea level, farmed organically and grapes are manually harvested. Each barrel is vinified separately before the final blend is decided. Their flagship wine, Mirum, is made using free-run juice before being aged for 18 months in oak barrels.
