2005 Vintage
D.O.Ca: Rioja
Grapes: 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, 10% Mazuelo and Graciano.
Geology and Soil Terraces of tertiary clay-calcareous soil.
Elaboration: Fermentation with indigenous yeast in oak vats. Aged for 28 months in casks made from oak specially selected from our cooperage. Before bottling the wine is fined with fresh egg whites. Once bottled it will undergo a process of rounding off in the bottle for twelve months in our cellars.
Tasting Notes: Against a background of red berries, jammy fruit and liqueur fruits, spices such as cloves, black pepper or vanilla pods come through. At the same time, and in perfect balance, you can detect leather, smoke and toasted wood. It is a wine without end. With no sharp edges, on the palate it is silky, friendly and overflowing with harmony. The aftertaste, eternally long, finally ends with reminders of candies which interweave, in the retronasal phase, with the full range of the spices detected on the nose.
