Ageing

Everything in this wine is an art, from the way the grape clusters are chosen at the bodega’s sorting table, to their fermentation in small French oak vats. After painstaking fermentation at controlled temperatures to achieve the highest extraction of aromas and colour, the wine is placed in casks where malolactic fermentation takes place without rackings, just the periodic stirring of the lees using the “bâtonnage” technique. It spends 24 months in new French Allier oak casks with a toasting level specifically determined for the vintage. The wine is bottled without being subjected to any fining or filtering.

Riojan Tempranillo 100%.

Tasting

Bright and very opaque pomegranate colour with purple hues. Its wide aroma palette drives us from the black berrties, across the smoked wood and toasted bread to the nutmeg. In the mouth its soft and elegante texture yet blunt and powerful. The wine develops in multiple layers tthat show the effort of integration between the Tempranillo fruit and the subtleness of the oak ageing. It remains in the palate leaving a fresh and juicy imprint that brings back the fruits from the first taste.
