GRAPE VARIETIES:
97% Tempranillo, 3% Mazuelo
VINEYARDS:
97% Tempranillo from a selection of the best grapes coming from 30 year-old,
low yielding bush vines in Haro, Villalba, and Foncea (Rioja Alta) and 3% Mazuelo
from Cenicero (Rioja Alta).
WINEMAKING:
Destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature
of 30ºC. The wine was then macerated for 3 weeks, over-pumping the must daily
to favor higher extraction of color and aromas.
AGEING:
Aged 28 months in hybrid American and French oak barrels, followed by a
minimum of 36 months of rounding in the bottle in our cellar
TASTING NOTES:
Intense deep red-garnet with a ruby trim. In the nose is intense with black ripe
fruit, fig and a touch of raisins all mixed with intense spicy and smoky notes. In
the palate is harmonious, balanced with gentle tannins that allowed for a long
aftertaste that strengthens the ripe fruit and spices aromas.
