Margón Valdemuz 2014 – Rare Prieto Picudo Wine from León (93 Points)

Crafted from century-old vines in Spain’s León region, this limited-production Prieto Picudo red wine (only 1,754 bottles made) showcases why Wine Advocate awarded it 93 points for its extraordinary depth and aging potential.

Why This Wine Stands Out

• Ancient Vineyard Heritage: Grown at 900+ meters elevation on limestone-clay soils from 120-year-old low-yield vines
• Distinctive Flavor Profile: Developed under flor yeast for complex tertiary aromas of smoked spices, polished tannins, and elegant rusticity
• Artisan Winemaking: Two years aging in French oak barrels following fermentation in oak foudres
• Collector’s Rarity: Indigenous Prieto Picudo grapes produce only 3 elongated berries per tight cluster

Tasting Notes & Pairing Suggestions

This 2014 Spanish red wine reveals layered notes of wild berries, leather, and subtle oak smoke – perfect for pairing with roasted lamb, aged Manchego cheese, or mushroom dishes. Its structured yet approachable character makes it excellent for cellaring until 2030+ or enjoying now after decanting.
