100% Tempranillo from Rioja Baja. Vineyards are planted on chalky and alluvial soils, rich in minerals and limestone, with Mediterranean
influence. Grapes were harvested late-Sept by hand. Alcoholic fermentation lasted 9 days at 30°C in stainless steel vats and maceration
took 10 days with daily remontages. Complete natural malo. 100% oak aged in French and American new oak barrels for 24 months and
5 years in bottle. Winemaker Gonzalo Rodriguez. Suitable for vegetarians. Alc 13.5%, TA 6.3g/l, pH 3.55, RS 1.85g/l. Available from
Wine Direct and 20 branches.

Wow – what a beautiful nose! Really intense and inviting. Full and beautifully crafted taste. A hint of farmyard, which adds to the overall beauty for me. Delicious, if pricey. *
