Elaboration

Traditional vinification with destalked, crushed grapes with long maceration period and fermentation controls.

Aging

Aged for 24 to 30 months in American oak casks with appropriately-timed rankings.  Aged in the bottle for at least 12 months before being put on the market.

Tasting notes

Highly representative of classic Rioja Alta wines. Ruby red with a tawny rim, brilliant. Elegant on the nose, well-blended aromas with hints of wood ageing and varietal notes. Very fine and well-structured in the mounth, with good acidity and polished tannins, very well balanced. Complex retronasal fragrance, both delicate and persistent. Good development in the bottle.
