About the wine
One of the best wines in the Ribera del Duero according to top wine boff Tim Atkin
-
In a past life, Marta and Miguel’s world-class wines would’ve been served up in posh Spanish restaurants, selling for twice the price. But after Angels saved their boutique winery from Covid peril, it’s now you who get to enjoy wines like this, their flagship Valdaya Mirum, for a steal.
-
It’s made using grapes handpicked from 30-50 year old vines, to provide the perfect balance of acidity and freshness. Deep and intense, there’s so much power here, but it’s a balanced, elegant sort of power. On the nose you’ll get sumptuous aromas of dark fruit and violets. The mouthfeel is full and luscious, with a long finish packed with jammy blackberries, cherries and a silky-smooth touch of oak.
- A dazzler of a Tempranillo that seems to get better and better with every vintage, this wine has earned heaps of praise from the world’s top wine critics, including the legendary Tim Atkin who described it as ‘among the best wines in Ribera del Duero. Long, stylish, and beautifully judged’. Now that's high praise.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Marta Ramas and Miguel Fisac
- Don't let their fresh faces fool you! Between them, this couple have enough winemaking knowledge to fill several encyclopedias on the subject and racked up enough air miles to rival even the oldest hands in the game.
- Starting their careers with a prestigious wine course in Bordeaux, the pair quickly graduated on to working amongst the vines of the equally prestigious Saint-Emilion and Péssac Léognan regions. The winemaking bug firmly took hold, leading Marta and Miguel to find themselves working on new wines in Hawkes Bay, Napa Valley and The Cape in South Africa.
- Encyclopedic wine brains full to bursting, the couple decided it was time to pack up what they'd learnt over their years of travel, come down from the clouds and focus on roots. They returned home to Spain where they've been making stunningly intense wines in the heart of the highly sought after Ribera del Duero, ever since.
