Description
A Rioja Reserva, which is defined by its origin and not only by the time its spend oak barrels and in the bottle. The ageing time is determined by the terroir of the origin – the profound and chalky clay soils of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. These give the wines a strength and concentration that has to be tempered by a long ageing. The result is a great wine with potential for many years.
Reserva red wine made from the variety Tempranillo, sourced from low-yielding old vines (>45 years), estate-grown in vineyards (Burdarán, Mindiarte, La Rad, La Canoca), located in the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra.
After a manual picking, all the grapes are hand-selected using vibration and selection tables. Long macerations and intracellular fermentations with indigenous yeasts in conic stainless-steel tanks and oak fermenters. Natural extraction by gravity. Malolactic fermentation and 18 months ageing in new French oak barrels.

Several plots located in the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, with its typical deep calcareous clay soils. Average altitude: 600 meters. Vine training system: Gobelet (bush vine system) and Guyot. Sustainable viticulture with 100% handcraft.
