Single vineyard; handpicked harvest in baskets; Destemming and light crushing of the grapes. Fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks. Aged in 50% American and 50% French fine grained oak barriques of 225 l. for 18 months.
Fresh blueberries and brambleberries take center stage, which is striking for a wine of this age. There are also lots of roasted herbs, such as sage, not to mention floral elements, including lavender and dried violets. Then come cedar, sandalwood and tar. The tannins are incredibly round and soft. This is among the most elegant of Riojas. Long and powerful, yet subtle on the finish. Drink now, or hold for a very long time.
