Cask Time: 24 meses
The vineyard is made up of 95% Tempranillo, 5% Mazuelo and Graciano grapes from vines which are over 20 years? old. It was made according to the traditional Rioja method with total destemming. It has spent 24 months in American oak casks with racking every six months. The first 12 months are spent in new oak and the rest in semi-new casks.
TASTING NOTES
It displays a ruby-red colour with a faint brick-red rim, bright and with good depth. On the nose, the first impression is of ripe fruit aromas with hints of leather and a pleasant vanilla fragrance, recalling its time ageing in the barrel. It has a powerful, vigorous attack, still rounding off the rough edges, with good backbone, mouth-feel and a long finish with a very pleasant, persistent aftertaste. A wine for laying down with a very promising medium to long term future evolution..
All its organoleptic and structural features prepare it for excellent evolution during the reducing phase in the bottle..
It is particularly recommended for drinking with meat and game casseroles and to accompany semi-mature cheese. It should be served at between 16º and 18º C.
