- It is a light, perfumed wine with delicate floral aromas of wild strawberries and violet, giving way to a juicy palate with velvety tannins and an elegant finish. The grapes were manually sorted to maintain diversity and subtle variation in ripeness. Fermentation and malolactic conversion occurred with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks and concrete vats at moderate temperatures. Daily pump-overs and maceration times were tailored to each tank based on tastings to obtain balance without over-extraction. The wine was made without excessive use of new oak or oxidative ageing. 42% was matured in first and second-use French barriques of 300 litres for eight months and the balance was aged in stainless steel tanks on its fine lees.

| Winery | The grapes come from carefully selected parcels around the charming village of Laguardia in Rioja Alavesa. Laguardia is situated on average at 640 meters above sea level and is open to the Ebro Valley with exposed sites. The microclimate here results in earlier ripening than in other villages and produces approachable wines that are elegant, light, and perfumed. The bush vines are planted in limestone soils and are cultivated with respect for the environment, using minimal sprays of copper and sulfur only when required. The fruit is hand-harvested in 15-kilogram boxes to preserve the quality. Current Denominacion de Origen regulations in Rioja only permit the use of a village name on the label by the location of the winery (i.e. the building and not the vineyards); thus, the wine from the Laguardia vineyards is marketed as L4GD4. |
