- This wine is intense ruby-red. Its rich and inviting aroma showcases black and red berry fruits with hints of liquorice. It is generously fruity on the palate, accompanied by the nuances of toasty oak and supple tannins. Savoury balsamic undertones contribute to the wine's complexity, leading to a long and satisfying finish.
Spring and summer were arid, with temperatures higher than the average in previous years. September started with milder temperatures, which allowed for an excellent phenolic maturation of the grapes. Harvest in our vineyards began in mid-September and lasted until 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 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. |
