Silver, IWC, 2022
Each grape variety was fermented separately in temperature-controlled vats at 28 to 30°C, and the process lasted for 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 the wine. This produced a softer wine that exhibits a great varietal fruit character.
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.

| Winery | The vineyards are situated on Rioja Valley’s northern hills on south-facing slopes at an altitude of 550 metres 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. |
