Vintage

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

100% even older vine Tempranillo. Following meticulous grape selection, the painstaking winemaking process starts in oak vats where, after the first fermentation, the wine is left to macerate for 20 days. It is then placed in French oak casks where malolactic fermentation takes place. There is no filtration or clarification of this wine.
