A selection of grapes from vineyards in the Rioja Alta and the Rioja Alavesa, planted in very poor calcareous soils of a clay loam texture. The vines are grown mainly using a traditional goblet-pruned system. The wine fermentation and maceration process is carried out during 15 days in stainless steel vats, with a daily pumping over routine for the optimum extraction of colour and tannins. The wine is matured for 12 months, in 225 litre capacity American oak barrels.

To the eye, it has a middle layer of bright cherry colour. The aroma of very fine aging (vanilla, coconut, roasted coffee) is combined with notes of ripe red berries and licorice. The palate is wide and elegant, with a clean aftertaste, persistent and of pleasant memory. Matches well with appetizers, all kinds of tapas, game and not very cured cheese.
