Description
VARIETY: Tempranillo, the quintessential Rioja variety.
VINEYARD AGE: 37 years.
SOIL: Calcareous clay with rounded stones.
WINEMAKING: Vinified by the youngest member of the family, Juan, who blends innovation with tradition, benefiting from the family’s wisdom and privileged training. Harvested in the third week of September. Traditional vinification with destemming and cold maceration with skins for 18 days. Two pump-overs daily at the beginning and one gentle pump-over during the final days.
APPEARANCE: Very high depth of color, intense picota cherry, with aromatic iridescence. Dense, slightly tinted, and gently flowing tears.
NOSE: Aromas of forest fruits, wild blackberries, raspberries, and currants. Fresh strawberry tones stand out against a backdrop of red fruits.
PALATE: Powerful and fleshy, with a sweet entry balanced by its acidity. A broad aftertaste that leaves the purest memory of red fruit with a youthful and fresh character.
Pairs excellently with a variety of tapas, meats, stews, legumes, and typical local dishes of the Rioja. Best consumed chilled to 12°C.
