- An intense and complex wine with delicious aromas of ripe, dark fruits, liquorice, minerals and spice with roasted notes from the oak ageing. The aromas are echoed on the palate which is smooth with fine-grained tannins and a long finish. An elegant expression of Tempranillo.
Vinification takes place purely by gravity, without the use of pumps and a philosophy of minimal intervention is followed to respect the characteristics of the fruit and its provenance. Fermentation took place at carefully controlled temperatures with several tastings per day to achieve the desired characteristics, culminating in 24 days maceration. The wines were transferred to French (80%) and American (20%) oak barrels to mature for a minimum of 18 months. Each vintage a combination of 1/3 new barrels are used along with older ones, to ensure the wine develops complexity and elegance for the years to come.

Winery | The grapes come from a few select vineyards, from vines with an average age of 40 years. The vines are carefully cultivated throughout the year, with patience, specialised craftsmanship and manual work. Emphasis is placed on keeping the vine healthy, with winter pruning, bunch and shoot thinning all taking place to capture the personality of the terroir. The grapes are hand-harvested. They follow a philosophy of keeping yields low and strive to keep the soils healthy, which allows the production of an intense, concentrated and long-lasting wine. |
