Winemaking and Ageing

Made from a careful selection of Tempranillo grapes from our own vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, grown on clay-limestone soils. Harvesting is carried out manually to ensure optimal selection of grapes at their ideal ripeness.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, with gentle macerations to preserve fruit expression and freshness. The wine then undergoes a short ageing period of 12 months in second-use oak barrels. It is bottled after a brief finishing period that guarantees freshness and vibrant fruit character.

Tasting

– Colour: Bright cherry-red colour, clean and luminous, with violet highlights reflecting its youth.

– Nose: Without swirling, aromas of fruits such as blueberries combined with redcurrant notes and spices such as bay leaf and pepper. With aeration, liqueur-like nuances appear, along with hints of cinnamon and clove.

– Palate: Fresh, light and appealing on entry, with notes of fine spices and vanilla. The finish reveals light tannins that extend with fruity flavours, leaving an attractive and pleasant aftertaste that invites another sip.
