Selection of tempranillo grapes from our old vineyards in Laguardia, the core of Rioja Alavesa. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28oC to 30oC. Macerated for 3 weeks with frequent pumpovers to ensure good color extraction and smooth tannins, hints of fruit and elegant notes of fine wood.
James Suckling Review:
Savory and complex nose with minty blueberries, cedar, wet leaves, tobacco and chili chocolate. Quite sleek, refined and juicy, medium-bodied palate, showing lots of restraint and elegance. Long and precise. Delicious now, but can hold for another five years, too.
