This is an utterly awesome Reserva Rioja. There is fabulous purity and intensity to the ripe cherry fruit, which mingles seamlessly with the fine oak. A wine of marvellous hamony, polished texture and understated complexity that subtly fans out on the finish, gradually revealing tobacco, warm cedar, dry spice and light floral scents. Dense, sweet and polished on the palate, it is a beautifully balanced wine with very fine tannins. Utterly ready to drink now, it would also show pleasant evolution over the next five years.

Winemaking
The grapes are 100% destemmed. Temperature-controlled fermentation takes place between 28 and 30ºC with indigenous yeast selected from their own vineyards. Extended post-fermentative maceration on the skins for 14 days, with two pump-overs daily in the beginning and a light daily pump-over at the end. The wine ages for 18 months in Bordelaise barrels of (50%) French and (50%) American oak. Age of barrels: 20% new oak and 80% maximum 3 year old oak barrel.
