DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN:
D.O.Ca Rioja
VINEYARD AREA
Finca La Esperilla is a legendary vineyard planted in goblet-trained vines at the foot of Clavijo Castle at an average altitude of 650 meters above sea level. There have always been vineyards here, so we could say that this is an ancient wine-growing area. True to tradition, the vines are dry-farmed.
SOILS
The terrain is a capricious natural environment, mainly consisting of ferrous sandy soils with glacial stones on the surface, with a higher content of silt and calcareous deposits in the case of Tempranillo and Graciano. We find more clay where the Grenache and Mazuelo varieties are located.
VARIETIES
Wine made from 55% Tempranillo, 35% Garnacha, 7% Mazuelo and 3% Graciano.
ELABORATION
All varieties were manually harvested. The Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano grapes were destemmed, while the Grenache fermented with 100% of its stems. Fermentation was carried out using indigenous yeasts, with periodic punching down and pumping over to delicately wet the cap. Light pressing and subsequent malolactic fermentation in tanks.
AGEING
12 months in 8,000-litre French oak barrels, followed by a minimum of 6 months' ageing in the bottle.
ALCOHOL
13,5%.

“Proelio is a winery to keep a close eye on with its new vineyard and winery team.”
