GRAPE VARIETY
100% Tempranillo

ON THE LAND
Made with grapes from vineyards situated at an altitude of 490-550m a.s.l. Clay soils with alluvium mainly in the surface. This diversity of soils gives us great fruit complexity and is significantly characteristic of the region. The alluvium renders finer and medium bodied wines which are ready to drink earlier.

VINTAGE
The year 2015 was characterized by abundant rainfall in winter and a hot summer, which brought the harvesting period forward. August was marked by more moderate temperatures and an excellent sanitary state of the plants with a moderate bud load, factors which endured until harvesting. 

IN THE WINERY
Grapes are harvested at phenolic maturity and vinified according to Riojantradition, including pre-fermentative maceration and temperature-controlled fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in American oak casks for 12 months.

IN THE GLASS

Nose: Fruity and spicy aromas, notes of tobacco.
