Red wine elaborated in our winery in Ábalos
Our Valsarte Crianza wines are made at our family winery in the heart of Sonsierra, Rioja, at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria. Harmoniously integrated into its surroundings, we make our wines here, respecting tradition while employing the latest technology, allowing us to produce wines of the highest quality.
Elegance, balance and complexity
Valsarte crianza wines genuinely represent the terroir and the character of the Rioja D.O.Ca. Classic Crianzas for the new times that condense in each bottle the idiosyncrasy of our land.
Ageing in oak barrels
Aging in oak barrels for 12 months brings elegance, complexity and balance to the wine. The oak transmits diverse aromas while micro-oxygenation softens the tannins and rounds the palate. A process that enhances the quality of the wine. The wine is then aged for 8 months in our Ábalos winery.

Our two crianza wines are made with the care and affection that we put into all our wines. Two references with different nuances thanks to the composition of varieties and their aging times that make them two essential for wine lovers and enjoyment.
