This was the earliest harvest in Rioja Alavesa?s history. Quality and quantity were excellent due to a favourable climatology during the whole vegetative cycle without any disease. Harvest was concentrated in 4 weeks. Wines have special freshness and elegance.

Winemaking
Upon entering the bodega, bunches are carefully selected before being de-stemmed so the individual berries can be sorted based on their weight. Grapes are pre-macerated at 8ºC for five days. Only the most perfect grapes are allowed to pass to wooden vats of French oak for fermentation, which lasts seven days. The resulting wine is then racked to new French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation, during which the lees are pumped over periodically. The wine is later clarified with egg white to obtain a well-rounded wine with excellent oak integration.
