| Winery | This wine is produced from grapes harvested in vineyards over 20 years old 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 colour and structure, the wine goes through malolactic fermentation to refine it and leave it with the necessary acidity to complete its American and French oak maturation and subsequent bottle ageing before its release to the market. |
