After destemming and crushing, the grapes were placed in tanks, where alcoholic fermentation and malolactic conversion naturally occurred with wild yeasts. The wine was aged for two years in American oak barrels, 100% of which were new during the first year and 4-year-old barrels in the second year. Four rackings were carried out in the traditional manner by candlelight.

Winery | Named after one of the founding families, Viña Alberdi is made up of 100% Tempranillo. The grapes are grown in the Mayorita, El Bardal and El Rebollar vineyards in Rodezno and Alto del Rey in Labastida. These sites are 500 to 600 metres above sea level, and the vines were planted over 40 years ago on clay-limestone soils. La Rioja Alta is committed to respecting and protecting the environment. In the vineyard, treatments are limited, investments have been made into clean energy sources, and water is reused. Insect shelters have been installed in vineyards, promoting environmentally friendly plant health defence while increasing the biodiversity in the vineyard. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. |
