Vinification

Hand harvested grapes. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with prolonged maceration to ensure the adequate extraction of tannins and all the aromatic potential. Ageing in hybrid barrels made from American oak (staves) and French oak (heads) for 28 months, followed by 36 months in bottle

Notes from critics

This is a quintessential Gran Reserva from Rioja with loads of savory and sweet flavors and aromas blended together in great harmony.

Enticing, complex and focused on the nose with scents of ripe plum, clove, rose, rosemary and thyme. Bright acidity with ripe tannins and a lovely hint of black olives. Delicious!

Bitter chocolate, raspberries, blackberries, spice box and some spearmint on the nose. Complex and flavorful, with a medium to full body, a firm tannin frame, and a lengthy, compact finish.
