Valdebellón and Negralada, their single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo, respectively, are released as part of their Añadas Históricas library release of selected wines. The 2016 Pago Valdebellón, despite the higher yields and more elegant wines, still reached 15% alcohol, but it also has more freshness and acidity and comes through as lively and young-ish. It matured in barrel for 16 months. There is some evolution here; this wine and the 2015 show a metallic twist, but it`s subtler here, with notes of brick dust and something oily and reminiscent of olives. The palate is polished, and the tannins have been resolved. I wouldn`t keep it for much longer. In 2025, they are releasing 1,100 bottles. It was bottled in May 2018.
