Tasting notes
Intense red cherry clour. Aromas of red fruits, strawberry, raspberry and cranberry framed by fine nuances of vanilla and toffee. Silky and structured on the palate, it has a long lasting and satisfying finish.
Ageing
Aged for 14 months in combined American and French oak barrels followed by 9 months of rounding in the bottle prior to release.
Food pairing
A perfect wine by the glass. Very versatile and apt to combine with all types of food: cold starters, pasta, pizza, poultry, grilled red meat...
Grape Varieties
92% Tempranillo, 8% Mazuelo selected from 10 to 20 year-old vines from our long-standing suppliers in the Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa subzones. Sloped plots of calcareous-clay soils with good drainage and sun exposure.
Winemaking
The destemmed grapes were lightly crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 C. Maceration in contact with the grape skins for 15 days, pumping the juice over the cap of skins daily for maximum color and aromatic extraction.
