The Anejón shows us the scent of the terraces of the Ribera del Duero. Located high in the Ribera del Duero with an almost manic focus on quality, great wines are made here. This winery is also the owner of Ossian the famous winery from the Rueda with its Verdejo vineyards, sometimes 150+ years old. The wine is a blend of Tempranillo (84%), cabernet sauvignon (8%) and merlot (8%) and is only produced in the exceptional years. The balance is the basis of the fine, delicate and at the same time intense nature of the wine. On the one hand, the scents of flowers integrated with a powerful fruit show the vibrancy of the environment. On the other hand, it emits freshness and a vibrant and energy, characteristic of a location that is as unique and real as the terraces of the Carraovejas.

The grapes are harvested completely manually in small crates and after extensive monitoring during the growth and after a first selection in the vineyard the second selection takes place. The grapes then go to a cold room and then to the final selection table. Everything at Carraovejas takes place through gravity, so nowhere pumps that move the must and wine with too much aggressive and often with too much oxygen. The wine then goes into small wooden barriques with native yeasts for fermentation. This gets all the time. The malolactic fermentation takes place in the same barrels and afterwards the Anejon goes one floor lower by gravity to the barrel cellar where it can mature in new French oak for at least 12 months. The Anejón harvest of 2014 was bottled in the spring of 2016 and the wine then had more than 1.5 years of bottle aging and is then gradually released in allocation. The demand for this wine is many times greater than the very limited supply.
