Spring and summer were particularly dry with temperatures higher than the average of the previous years. September started with milder temperatures, which allowed for an excellent phenolic maturation of the grapes. Harvest in our vineyards started in mid-September and lasted until the end of October. The condition of the grapes was optimal in general terms.

| Winery | This wine is produced from grapes harvested in vineyards over 20 years old in the area around Villalba and Haro in Rioja Alta, bush pruned, with low yields, and picked by hand. Only the healthiest and ripest grapes are selected, and following de stalking, the grapes are cold macerated before a cold temperature fermentation. Following a long maceration to achieve optimum color and structure, the wine goes through malolactic fermentation, to refine the wine, and to leave it with the necessary acidity to complete its American and French oak maturation, and subsequent bottle aging before its release to the market. |
