2021 began with a good rainfall but that at the end of winter came a prolonged period of drought until well into September. In general terms it has been a dry year that has favored the health of the vineyard, reducing the number of phytosanitary treatments due to the excellent condition of the grapes. The harvest in terms of quantity is very similar to that of 2020 and even slightly higher, favored in some vineyards by the precipitation at the end of September. These climatic conditions have caused the harvest to come about 10 days later than the 2020 harvest, obtaining warmer wines, with less acidity than other years but with a very remarkable colorimetric potential, making powerful and structured wines. They are wines slightly less aromatic due to the heat but they gain in color and structure.

Hand-harvested, destemmed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Aged in medium-toasted, neutral oak barrels (60% French and 40% American) for 12-14 months. Systematic microbiological monitoring and monthly barrel topping up ensure that barrel aging adds complexity to the wine while preventing oxidative notes that might mask the fresh fruit typical of Tempranillo from Rioja Alavesa.
