Vintage
The 2025 vintage in Rioja Alavesa is defined by exceptional quality and high concentration, despite being one of the shortest harvests of the century (a 15-20% reduction) due to drought, downy mildew, and hail. It is characterized by wines with great structure, elegance, and freshness, the result of an early harvest and meticulous vineyard management. The outcome is wines that stand out for their aromatic intensity, vibrant character, freshness, and future complexity.

Winemaking
Made from a selection of Labastida vineyards of 25 years average age and planted in calcareous-clay soils at between 450 and 600 meters altitude. Q de Quintano is the freshest and most youthful expression of the unique Labastida viticulture. De-stemming of 85% of the harvest and elaboration of the rest via the carbonic maceration style made in concrete deposits. Pre-fermentative maceration for 4 days and spontaneous fermentation. Total of 20 days work between fermentation and maceration. Finally, malolactic fermentation and then ageing in concrete for a minimum of 4 months until its optimal moment of bottling and consumption.
