A coupage of Tempranillo and Graciano varieties that is born in the heart of the Rioja DOC, on the estates grown by this centenary winery. This wine is aged in American oak barrels for a year and subsequently cellared a further year at the winery before release. The result is a well rounded, elegant wine with an authentic Rioja typicity.
