The wines 12 Linajes Reserva 2014 and Valdelacierva Reserva 2014, from Hispanobodegas, will be available from October in the Duty Free shops in the Spanish airports of the Peninsula and the Canary Islands. With this new project, the two wineries from Hispanobodegas are positioned within the ranking of the brands selected by the airports to represent Spanish wines in their Rioja (Valdelacierva) and Ribera del Duero (Viñedos y Bodegas Gormaz) categories.

Expanding value and exclusivity to travellers from all over the world, in addition to offering limited edition wines born form the terroir and old vines in the Ribera del Duero Soriana and Rioja regions, is a fantastic way to keep working on the value of the brand and the quality of the wines, says the Marketing Manager of the Group, Raquel Ruiz.

About 12 Linajes Reserva 2014

It is a wine from Viñedos y Bodegas Gormaz and the Denomination of Origin Ribera del Duero, born from a selection of plots with old strains of more than 80 years in Miño, Ines and Atauta and at an altitude of between 905 and 960 meters. The harvest is done manually, then the grape arrives to the winery, where the selection of the grape and its handmade production, ensured by the winemaker María José García, will begin. 25% of the newly finished wine performs its malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. Wine aging is 24 months in new French oak (70%); American (15%) of one year and (15%) of two years with refinement in bottle for at least 18 months.With a complex nose, predominance of mineral notes in a background of cherry jam combined with a subtle blend of roasted and smoked background. Powerful palate but with a step of silky and well-balanced tannins that make up a final that feels fatty with mineral and candied aftertaste. 12 Linajes Reserva has an elegant image, sophisticated and with personality, while the wine is represented in gold, accompanied by rescued symbols of the 12 Linajes shields, seal of the wealth oh Soria’s history.

About Valdelacierva Reserva 2014

Valdelacierva Reserva, from Bodegas Valdelacierva, is synonym of elegance and sophistication and an image with the essence of the winekamer, Emma Villajos. With a limited production of 40.000 bottles, it is a unique Reserva. It was born in vineyards of more than 50 years old and produced from a manual harvest, it has an aging of 24 months in American and French oak barrels and an after aging in bottle for 12 months.  With an intense and complex nose, a moving cup is very harmonious with mineral notes typical of the terroir, dairy and ripe fruit due to its aging. The palate is sweet and wide on the entry. Its journey through the centre of the mouth is well structured and elegant. Its velvety and unctuous finish brings the dairy and mineral notes of its complex nose back.
