From a selection of several clones of Tempranillo grown in the main three soil types of La Rioja Alta: ferrous clay, (red clay), calcareous clay (white clay) and stony alluvial (‘cascajos’) these three combined seek greater complexity and elegance in the wine. Fermented at 28?C and macerated for 28 days in stainless steel, the wine remains in 80% American and 20% French oak for 12 months and stabilizes naturally in stainless steel tanks for a year. Cherry red colour with garnet trim with high viscosity and abundant tears. Intense, complex nose of mature red and black fruits, blackberry, raspberry and ripe cherries with balsamic and spicy traces, roasted cocoa, with hints of rain forest and minerality. Powerful and elegant on the palate, great structure, balanced and smooth with ripe black cherries flavoured with cocoa and spices. Refreshing acidity and minerality, with a long, lingering aftertaste. 20,000 bottles. Alc Vol: 14%.
