Product notes

Très versatile qui se marie bien avec les charcuteries et fromages forts.

Production notes

Freshness, power and fruit. Young spirit of Rioja Alavesa. 100% Tempranillo grapes selected from our vineyard in Torre de Oña, in the foothills of Sierra de Cantabria. This terroir, predominantly limestone and well-drained, produces grapes with excellent aromatic complexity and outstanding freshness. Our harvest was guided by a painstaking selection of the grapes and was uneventful in terms of the weather. Grapes were hand selected in 300 kg boxes and immediately processed in the winery. After a gentle destemming and crushing, they underwent alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Ageing began in January 2019 in new American (60%) and French second-use oak barrels (40%) and lasted 16 months. This wine was racked three times using the traditional method. Bottled in July 2020.

Tasting notes

Ruby colour, clean and bright, medium-high robe with red cherry tones on the rim of the glass. Very expressive and intense on the nose with violet flowers, red fruits, wild strawberries, mulberries and redcurrants, wrapped around a rich palette of balsamic and spicy notes: vanilla, toffee, nutmeg, caramel and liquorice. It stands out on the palate for its balanced freshness and structure, with supple tannins and a smooth, rounded, classic Rioja Alavesa finish.
