This wine comes from a 60 year old vineyard belonging to Rioja Vega and a second one, now 50 years old, on the slopes of the Sierra Cantabria.

The first one is planted on trellis lines, to maximise sun exposure with careful canopy management ensuring full phenolic ripeness.

The second one on the slopes of the Sierra Cantabria are low yielding bush vines, carefully cared for to grow healthy, concentrated berries. Warm days and cold nights ensure that the handpicked grapes offer rich, ripe fruit of fine freshess, which will provide great structure to the wines.

Manual harvest in order to respect the fruit.

Fermentation during 10 days in stainless steel tanks with temperature control not exceeding 29ºC . Maceration a further 6 days in contact with the skins. Malolactic fermentation in the tanks subsequently at 18ºC.

Bright, deep ruby red colour.

The bouquet shows ripe red fruit, along with elegant roasted cocoa and cedar wood aromas.

The mouthfeel is rich and full bodied, velvety smooth with a long, lingering finish of great elegance. A well balanced, fine wine.
