Vintage
The cycle began with a very rainy autumn. The winter was very cold and loaded with several snowfalls, which resulted in a late sprouting that marked the development of the entire vegetative cycle. Spring was also rainy giving way to a summer in which high temperatures came later than usual. The delay in the cycle was maintained until maturity, beginning the harvest of red grapes on October 15th. The fruit arrived at the winemaking cellar with good sanitary status and maturation. The grades were medium and the levels of acidity fairly balanced giving rise to wines with great potential both for early consumption and for ageing as well as storage.

Winemaking
95% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha. Following a pre-fermentation maceration to ensure maximum extraction of colour and aromas, the must is fermented in stainless steel deposits for 10 days at 26º C.

Aging
Ageing takes place in barrels made from American and French oak, which are mildly toasted so as not to alter the original character and to prolong the ageing process. The wine is racked every six months, removed from the barrels and then clarified after 12 months ageing. It is then decanted for 25 days and bottled directly without any type of filtration.

Tasting notes
Colour
Ruby tone at the centre with a dark deep colour and lively edge.
Nose
Cherry and blackberry jam. The wood, although noticeable, complements the openly fruity character of the wine, adding some cinnamon and toasted vanilla notes to the aroma?s finish.
Mouth
Full with a potent impression, which supports the balance between good acidity and a velvety feel. On the finish, it shows a mix of dairy and marinated fruit. It shows body, good complexity, strength and richness of nuances on the palate.
Pairing
Recommended with steaks and other red meats, casseroles, stews, lamb, Spanish chorizo sausages, hard and blue cheeses.
D.O
D.O. Ca. Rioja (Alavesa)
