After they skipped the 2013 vintage, the top of the range comes back with an impressive 2014 Valderiz Tomas Esteban, an homage to the winery's founder. It's produced with the grapes from an old family vineyard planted with Tempranillo and some 5% white Albillo. This has power, energy and finesse along with abundant, chalky and fine-grained tannins and all the ingredients and balance for a positive development in bottle. 4,000 bottles produced.

The 2011 Valderiz Tomás Esteban is an homage to the winery's founder, through this juicy and concentrated red, sourced from an old family vineyard with Tempranillo and some 5% white Albillo. It feels a bit closed at first and has some seriousness to it. With time, emerge notes of soil; it's very earthy and the fruit is ripe without excess, while the oak is clearly present but does not overwhelm. It turns more and more balsamic, developing aromas of camphor and aromatic herbs as it sits in the glass. The palate is full-bodied, concentrated and powerful with large tannins that are in need of a couple of years in bottle. 4,000 bottles were produced in 2011.
