Inky ruby red color. The bouquet is intense, bursting with the scent of freshly crushed blackberries with undertones of vanilla, balsam, black pepper and tobacco.  The wine is solid and firm on the palate with chewy tannins melting seamlessly into a background of lush, dense, ripe fruit.  It displays surprising elegance for such a blockbuster of a wine.

Additional Information

Bodega la Viña de Font de la Figuera exemplifies the new wave of wineries in the Valencia region. Wine has been made here since before the Romans arrived, it’s only recently that they’ve caught the attention of wine lovers worldwide however.

Valencia has long been a focal point for the Spanish wine industry, through its port have been shipped millions of gallons of wine over the years – most of it to be blended into anonymity valued more for its color and concentration than its own inherent quality.

Bodega la Viña’s history reaches back to 1944 when 38 growers came together with their 47 hectares to produce wine in a cooperative. They’ve grown up since then, their vineyards total over 2000 hectares now!  And the group is at the forefront of the new wave of quality wines coming out of Valencia.

Venta del Puerto embodies the new Valencia. It’s oriented towards the high-end market, where competition and criticism is stiff. They’ve set their sights high and have taken the necessary steps in the vineyards and in the winecellar to produce an iconic wine. Only 40,000 bottles were produced, each individually numbered.
