Delicious velvety Rioja which, after five years maturing, is showing its sophisticated savoury side as well as rich berry fruit and subtle oak influence.
The grapes came from clay-soil vineyards in Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa.
The must was fermented in stainless steel tanks with temperature control, and the total maceration period was sixteen days. The wine spent twenty-four months in oak barrels, 70% American and the remainder French.
