Vintage
Continuing the early harvest trend of 2017, the grapes in Navarra were collected two weeks before the historical average. The white varieties, such as Chardonnay, were the first to be picked in mid-August, and the entire harvest, including the red grapes, was completed in 10-15 days. In spite of this early and quick harvest, 2017 has resulted in quality wines. The grapes were in perfect condition as Navarra was not affected by hail or frost. Though the yield was small, the organoleptic characteristics are of maximum quality.

Winemaking
70% Tempranillo, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot. Following manual selection, the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed, and the must is cold pre-macerated at 7ºC for five days in a cooling chamber. The malolactic fermentation was carried out in concrete tanks at controlled temperature.
