Vintage
It was a shorter vintage than usual in terms of quantity, but of a very high level of quality. Quantity wise, a 25-30% decrease in yield compared to a normal year's harvest. Great concentration of colour and grade that will allow keeping back wines with great longevity and with lots of fruit. Very favourable year for the cultivation of the vine, with two shocks at the beginning and end of the cycle. It was a vintage that accumulated an advance of about 10 days compared to a normal year. The low production, the favourable climate during most of the year, the morphology of grains and clusters and the good work of the winemakers resulted in very high quality wines.

Winemaking
Tempranillo 80%, Graciano 18% & Viura 2% (a field blend from a single plot). The harvested grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled French oak casks and macerated to extract their full potential. The resulting wine is then passed to French oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation to give it complexity and aromatic intensity while stabilising its colour.

Aging
The wine is aged for a total of 14 months in new 500L French oak barrels from a selection of several top French coopers.

Tasting notes
Colour
Lovely deep dark plum red colour.
Nose
Ripe, concentrated fruit aromas with mineral touch, spice and notes of forest fuit preserve wrapped in tones of butterscotch.
Mouth
Concentrated and buttery, well-balanced with fine tannins but good acidity. Long and expressive finish, leaving a clear impression of the mineral character of the terroir.
Pairing
Suggested for dishes such as red meat, cheeses, or fatty fish. It goes well with lamb dishes, beef steak and grilled blue fish (salmon, etc.).
