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.

Vine age: 60 years old. This wine is a blend of old grapes from Elvillar de Álava, the village where we have the winey in Rioja Alavesa. Selected grapes from very special vineyards with an intense personal identity in the area of Pison were destemed, crushed and cold macerated for four days before undergoing alcoholic fermentation at average temperatura of 30ºC for ten days. Then macerated for another 16 days.

* 100% Tempranillo.
