DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN:
DOC Rioja

VINEYARD AREA:
Selection of vineyards in the VALLE DEL IREGUA, LADERAS DEL MONCALVILLO and MONTES DE CLAVIJO.

VINEYARD ALTITUDE:
Between 550 and 700 metres above sea level.

SOILS:
Mixture of ferrous clay with calcareous clay and a sandy component of degradation on the surface. The mixture lends agility, depth and great volume on the palate.

VARIETIES:
100% Tempranillo blanco.

VINTAGE CHARACTERISTICS:
A fresh vintage, budbreak came a week early, the first part of the summer with abundant rainfall, followed by an absence of rain in the second part, which meant the plant's vegetative cycle was very balanced and healthy. During ripening, the climate was favourable with a contrast in temperature between day and night, which produced optimum ripeness in aroma and flavour.

AGEING
4 months on fermentation lees, regular riddling twice a week.

“Enticingly priced, this impressive blend of mostly Tempranillo Blanco would confound most people in a blind tasting. Grown at 800 metres, it's zesty and crunchy, yet exotic at the same time"

By and for the white wine

The obsession of the winery is the search for the freshness and longevity of white wines and for this we have the best technology in the production. We vinify each small plot separately, from the entrance of the grapes, either by selection table in boxes of 18 kg or by reception hopper. The way in which the grapes enter the winery depends on their state of health and the destination of the grapes.

One of the most important elements of the winery are the pneumatic inert dams, made with a membrane that injects nitrogen to prevent the must from oxidising. In this way we respect the character of the variety and the peculiarities of the estate.

Production and ageing

In a normal year we can have up to 20 different vinifications depending on the variety, estate or area where our grapes come from. In this way we get exactly what we want from our wines, which is the maximum expression of their terroir.

We make almost all of our wines in 3,500 litre oak casks from Normandy with a very light toasting so that the varietal and mineral character of our native varieties produces unique and respectful, complex and expressive wines, which have a great longevity thanks to the extraordinary acidity levels with which we work.
