Made in miniscule quantities, this unique wine comes entirely from Petit Verdot, that most expressive of the Bordeaux varieties. It is rarely seen, except as a small component of a blend, providing lift and zest. The slow-ripening vine is especially suited to the scorching Castilian sun and sandy soil of this particular terroir. These, and several months of oak ageing, bestow on the wine an exquisite full body and firm structure, with blueberry, liquorice, toffee, dark chocolate, blackcurrant and mocha character. The finish is exceptionally long and silky.

Winemaking
Fermented at low temperatures with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks; gentle extraction performed by delestage and remontage. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation in tank; a system devised by Pascal Delbeck moves the wine to "IFO" steel mini-vats; pump-free racking without moving the tanks. This is followed by 19 months ageing in 225L oak barricas.
