Vintage
The vintage has been much better than expected. Although the year began with a lot of precipitation and the spring was rainy and warm, it was necessary to exercise extreme caution against fungal diseases. The year improved in the summer months as it was accompanied by dry, hot weather that favoured both good sanitary conditions and phenolic maturation. The expected result is very hopeful and with very structured and powerful wines.

Winemaking
Rational, sustainable winegrowing, free of herbicides and in har- mony with nature.The steep hillside slopes are prone to erosion. As is stabilises, the soil forms small obstacles that appear on ground-breaking which slow down water run-off, ensuring that the earth maintains as much moisture as possible. At the winery, double selection process on tables (bunches and individual grapes).Grapes are fermented in a small stainless steel vat.Malolactic fermentation in 400-litre French oak casks used for the third time with a subsequent thirteen-month ageing.

Tasting notes
Colour
A deep red cherry, dark wine
Nose
It is principally marked by its black berry aromas on a background of spices, fallen forest leaves and tobacco.As the wine opens up in the glass, red berries in liqueur and aromatic plants emerge ? the thyme, rosemary and juniper that surround the vines.
Mouth
It is a surprising wine on the palate ? silky and smooth, rich and mellow in the mouth, with a tannic finish that is highly evocative.
Pairing
Red meats, lamb stew, mature cheeses and Jamon Iberico
D.O
D.O. Ca. Rioja (Alavesa)
