Vinification

The grapes are carefully selected, destemmed then partially crushed with a high proportion of full berries. The juice then undergoes a 15 - 20 day maceration period with pumping over taking place daily. A controlled fermentation follows at between 24-28º, using both native and selected yeasts.

Vineyard

Vineyards situated between approximately 300 and 600 metres altitude. High percentage of small plots of less than 1ha, where both traditional and modern technological cultivation methods are used. Average age of vines is 25 years.

Soil Type

Although Rioja is a small region, it has heterogeneous soils with a balanced structure, alluvial terrains with a harmonic composition of sand, silt and clay, rounded stones and slightly alkaline with active limestone. Low organic matter content.Low level of nutritional elements and lack of water during Summer.

Maturation

Two years in medium toasted American oak casks which contribute spicy aromas and flavours. The wine was then aged in the bottle, acquiring stability and complexity.

Food Pairing

Ideal to accompany all types of red meat, lamb and game. Perfect with medium-cured cheeses.
