strong identity
Deep and brilliant crimson color. A very intense wine with a powerful yet delicate nose. It offers all the characteristics of its great complexity: noble wood, lightly spiced, with hints of vanilla and cocoa against a background of dark fruit, touches of liquorice and woodland giving this wine personality as well as elegance.
Very expressive on the palate, full-bodied and refined, with delicious flavours of berries laced with toasty notes. A very classy wine.
2019 Vintage
Mild and humid year. Early bud break due to humidity and mild temperatures in spring. Hard summer with strong heat and drought, alleviated by occasional storms. Dry periods of great vegetative health, leading to optimal ripening. Slow and gradual harvest, thanks to incredibly good weather and no storms. A great vintage.
Soils
Fundamentally clayey-limestone. Plots in Rioja Alta with ferrous subsoil and Rioja Alavesa with limestone origin.
Vineyards and Yields
Selection of old vineyards from Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa. Low yields, less than 5,000 kg/ha.
Harvest
Harvesting by hand, meticulously deciding the optimum harvesting time for each plot and each variety.
Vinification
Bunches destemmed with the utmost care. Alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature. Prolonged maceration with the skins in order to extract deep colour, elegant aromas and a smooth, enveloping tannic structure. Malo-lactic fermentation in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. Once the malo-lactic fermentation is complete, this wine is transferred to fine-grained French oak barrels.
Total time in barrel
20 months in French oak barrels, divided equally between new barrels and barrels of one and two years old, with racking every 5 months.
Ageing in bottle
At least 2 years before being placed on the market.
