- Leather, vanilla, and spice from traditionally made Rioja are enveloped in a smooth, textured palate. Balanced with ripe, wild strawberries and integrated tannins, it has a long, lingering finish. From a quality point of view, 2019 was a spectacular year, albeit with an overall lower yield of -18% on the Ondarre estate. Generally, the warm, dry conditions accelerated the development of the vine and flowering took place early. The combination of warm, dry weather with lower rainfall resulted in fewer grapes, but the fruit showed excellent concentration. This weather pattern continued into the first weeks of the autumn, resulting in healthy, ripe fruit of excellent quality.

Silver, IWC, 2022
Each grape variety was fermented separately in temperature-controlled vats at 28 to 30°C, and the process lasted between 16 and 18 days. The wine was blended and then aged 16 months in American and French oak Bordeaux-type casks, imparting subtle oak complexity. During maturation, the wine was racked four times to gently extract phenolic compounds by oxygenating it. This produced a softer wine that exhibits a great varietal fruit character.

| Winery | The vineyards are situated on Rioja Valley's northern hills on south-facing slopes at an altitude of 550 meters above sea level. The vines, which have an average age of 25 years, are planted in uneven terrain due to several streams that run down the mountains that mark the northern border of Rioja. The soils are generally poor in nutrients and very shallow, just 30 to 35 centimetres in depth, encouraging the vines to send their roots deeper in search of nutrients and water. The soils vary from plot to plot, but clay-based soils are prevalent, with high iron and chalk content. The clay content retains water, which nourishes the vines during the warm summers, and the iron content is an essential nutrient for photosynthesis. |
