The wine

This is a 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano blend from the Rioja Alavesa, and a vintage year considered very good by the DO.

Fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks with lengthy macerations in order to achieve the right balance between the fruit and tannic elements, and thus obtain wine highly suitable for ageing.

It appears an intense shade of cherry-red with a garnet rim, whilst on the nose aromas abound of spiciness, ripe fruit, creamy oak and a touch of vanilla. The wine feels powerful on the palate, with plenty of flavour, and comes over as well-structured with good persistence.

Aged for 14 months in 225-litre American and French oak barrels. Subsequent repose in bottle for 13 months before release.
