Viyuela Selección 2022 is a terroir-driven Tempranillo from Bodegas Viyuela, a family-owned estate with winemaking roots stretching back to the early nineteenth century. Situated in Boada de Roa, at the heart of the Ribera del Duero appellation, Bodegas Viyuela has built a reputation for crafting expressive, premium red wines that faithfully reflect one of Spain's most celebrated wine regions.
This red is sourced entirely from estate-owned Tempranillo vineyards planted at around 812 metres above sea level. The combination of calcareous-clay soils, an extreme continental climate and significant diurnal temperature swings creates the conditions for slow, even ripening — retaining natural acidity while building polyphenolic depth and aromatic complexity. Every harvest is carried out by hand, with rigorous bunch selection both in the vineyard and at the winery, ensuring only the finest fruit makes the final blend.
In the glass, Viyuela Selección 2022 pours a deep ruby with violet hints. The bouquet is fruit-forward and inviting, offering notes of wild blackberry and fresh raspberry alongside gentle spice and a whisper of vanilla oak. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced with a smooth, approachable mouthfeel, supple tannins and well-integrated acidity that keeps each sip lively and refreshing. The finish is clean and persistent, echoing the dark fruit and subtle spice of the nose.
Bodegas Viyuela was named best winery in Ribera del Duero by Mundus Vini in 2019, a recognition that reflects the estate's unwavering commitment to quality. If you're looking to buy a premium Ribera del Duero red wine online, Viyuela Selección 2022 is a compelling choice — sophisticated yet accessible, and a fine ambassador for Spanish Tempranillo.
At the table, this wine shines alongside grilled lamb, roasted meats, aged Manchego or charcuterie. Order Viyuela Selección 2022 online at Mercado 46 and enjoy fast European delivery of one of Spain's finest terroir-driven reds.

The Winery
Founded in 2003
Bodegas Viyuela is a family winery located in Boada de Roa, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero Denominación de Origen. Although the family has been cultivating vineyards since the early 19th century, it was in 2003 that José Ángel González Viyuela took the decisive step of building a modern winery to fully express the potential of his terroir and viticultural heritage. Today, the general management is led by his daughter, Laura González Sainz, reinforcing the family and generational character of the project. The winery works exclusively with the Tempranillo variety, grown across 23 hectares of estate vineyards and an additional 10 hectares under controlled management. All harvesting is done by hand, with rigorous grape selection both in the vineyard and in the cellar, ensuring the highest quality raw material. The winemaking approach is guided by vine age: the oldest parcels yield wines destined for longer ageing and greater complexity, while younger vines produce fresher, more approachable expressions. All wines spend time in Bordeaux-style oak barrels for varying periods, adding structure and elegance. Annual production stands at around 150,000 bottles, divided into two clearly defined ranges: the Classic line — comprising Viyuela Barrica, Viyuela Crianza and Viyuela Reserva — and the Signature line, with more prestigious references such as Viyuela 3+3, Viyuela 10 and Viyuela Xº Aniversario. International recognition has consistently validated the winery's trajectory: outstanding scores from critics including James Suckling, Tim Atkin and Decanter, and in 2019 Mundus Vini named it the best winery in Ribera del Duero. The Gran Reserva 2016 earned a Grand Gold at that same competition, alongside the Best of Show award in the Gran Reserva category for the appellation.
