Finca Vallejo Crianza is the new addition to the Bodega Bela catalogue, the project of CVNE in Ribera del Duero. In 2017, this firm began its journey in one of the most desired areas of the Castilian denomination, between the terms of Moradillo de Roa and Villalba de Duero (Burgos). From this last locality come the fruits of tinta del país that shape Finca Vallejo Crianza, a red wine that perfectly integrates fruit and wood; broad, round, balanced, and silky. Bright and lively, Finca Vallejo Crianza is a medium-high layer wine that shows a cherry red colour with a violet background. On the nose, it offers aromas of fresh red fruit, such as currants and sour cherry, well balanced with the notes provided by the wood: spices, toasted, and balsamic. On the palate, it is a structured and round wine, with silky tannins. Good balance. It presents a broad and long finish where the memories of fresh fruit and wood perceived on the nose return.

In 2017, the Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España (CVNE) fulfilled the desire to honour the founders of the winery from 1879 by launching the Bodega Bela project in one of the most sought-after areas of the Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin. This winemaking house, far from its native Rioja, began with an exceptional viticultural heritage of 82 hectares of vineyards, mostly of the tinta del país or tempranillo variety, spread across the Villalba de Duero and Moradillo de Roa regions. Two very distinct areas that contribute complementary attributes to the wines: more structure in Moradillo de Roa and more freshness in Villalba de Duero. A venture that was forged after more than a decade of acquiring these coveted vineyards. Bela was the affectionate nickname given to Sofía, the daughter of CVNE co-founder Eusebio Real de Asúa, and the great-grandmother of the current leaders of the company. It is a cutting-edge winery with a surface area of 6,000 m² and a large barrel room with a capacity for 10,000 casks. In 2024, it became one of the highlights of the Spanish wine world when the prestigious publication Wine Spectator selected Bela Crianza 2021 as the only Ribera del Duero wine in its Top 100. In recent years, Bodega Bela has embarked on its adventure in the neighbouring D.O. Rueda, where it is producing verdejo whites that are sure to make waves.
