Following meticulous sorting on optical selection tables, only the perfectly ripe grapes were fermented using indigenous yeasts. Alcoholic fermentation lasted 19 days, and malolactic conversion occurred naturally. The following February, a selection of wine lots was placed in American oak barrels with an average age of 4.5 years. The wine was matured for three years, during which traditional, manual rackings took place every six months by candlelight, followed by three years of bottle ageing.
Refined, supple, and polished, this wine offers an array of red and black fruits, coffee, caramel, and cedar, with a beautiful balance and extraordinary length on the palate.

It is blended with a small proportion of Graciano from the Montecillo vineyard in Fuenmayor. La Rioja Alta S.A. 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. |
