Technical Details
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.
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.
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.
