There is a different way of understanding Tempranillo in La Rioja, especially in the area of Rioja Alta. The vineyards are located at a high altitude near the city of Fonzaleche, where the climate is mainly Atlantic.
With three types of soil in the plot: clay-limestone, alluvial and clay-ferrous we have elaborated a very modern wine with a freshness and acidity ideal for aging. Hand harvested during the second and third week of October, and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28ºC, we manage to achieve a perfect balance between extraction process and aromatic content of the grape varietal.
Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
