The 2023 harvest had a vegetative cycle marked by drought, with a drier autumn and winter, which the vineyard endured thanks to the altitude at which the vineyards in Rioja Alavesa are located. At the end of summer, temperatures were high, but more moderate than in other areas of the appellation, along with cooler nights that made the grapes ripen correctly.After the September rains, the harvest was characterized by sunny days with unusually high temperatures for this time of year, which meant a quick harvest of the estates with the most ripening progress, and a wait for the perfect ripening of our vineyards with higher altitudes.The white wines of the 2023 vintage stand out for their freshness and moderate alcohol content, and as for the reds, we have obtained grapes with splendid phenolic maturity for the elaboration of elegant red wines, with tannins that provide structure and complexity, but maintaining freshness, thanks to the fruit balance and the good acidities of our area.

After de-stemming and crushing the grapes, they are cold macerated for 36 hours to extract the maximum fruit aromas possible. The must is then gravity bled and fined through natural decantation, also at low temperature, before undergoing alcoholic fermentation. This is done at 14ºC over 14 days, followed by a post-fermentation maceration on the lees. Finally, the wine is racked and decanted in sealed concrete deposits, whereupon it is ready for filtering and bottling.
