• Terrain & Winemaking

90% Tempranillo and 10 % Grenache from our oldest vineyards located between Nájera and Cenicero in the region of Rioja Alta. First, selection of the plots and field inspection of the vines that are harvested along the end of September and October, after a rigorous selection in the field of the best clusters.

Grapes are introduced in the cellar, destemmed and gently squeezed into small stainless-steel vats. Long maceration of the must along with the skins, with daily “battonages” that guarantee an adequate extraction of phenolics, required for a long ageing process. The resulting wine, after malolactic fermentation, is aged in American (70%) and French (30%) oak barrels for a period of 24 months, followed by bottle ageing for at least 12 months. Estate bottled.
