This wine comes from parcels of bush-trained vines on poor, sandy textured soils in the Rioja Alta area. The vines are an average of more than 35 years old and the yields are no more than 5,500 kg/ha. Ageing in French and American oak barrels (90%-10%) for 28 months, followed by at least four years cellaring in bottle. Food pairing: White meat, oven-baked fish. Cured meat and dark chocolate desserts. Serving temperature: 16- 18º C.
Taste: On the palate, it is subtle and pleasant, with great finesse upon entry and through the mid-palate. The tannins are extremely well polished and it has a serene acidity that maintains a long finish.
Appearance: Ruby red with a noticeable rim. Excellent brightness and clarity.
Aroma: On its first contact with oxygen, it appears clean but reticent. Then, sweet notes of oak appear, cinnamon, clove and candied fruits. Infinite nuances that change with the passage of time.
Grape variety: Tempranillo, Graciano.
