Description:
This wine comes from parcels of bush-trained vines on poor, sandy textured soils in the Rioja Alta area. The vines are an average of more than 35 years old and the yields are no more than 5,500 kg/ha. The grapes are harvested with great care and transported to the winery in small containers. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28ºC, with prior bleeding off and long maceration of three weeks in contact with the skins. Ageing in French and American oak barrels (90%-10%) for 28 months, followed by at least four years cellaring in bottle.
On its first
contact with oxygen, it appears
clean but reticent. Then, sweet
notes of oak appear, cinnamon,
clove and candied fruits. Infinite
nuances that change with the
passage of time.
On the palate, it is subtle and
pleasant, with great finesse upon
entry and through the mid-palate.
The tannins are extremely well
polished and it has a serene acidity
that maintains a long finish.
