DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN
DOC Rioja

VINEYARD AREA:
Tempranillo from our estate Puerto Rubio, “Viñedo Singular de la Rioja” , located in the village of San Vicente in the Sonsierra Riojana.

VINEYARD ALTITUDE:
Tall head-pruned vineyard between 50 & 60 years-old in an altitude of 488 metres over the sea level.

SOILS:
Soils on the slopes of calcareous gravels with degradative components and of sedimentary origin, on the surface and with the presence of the bedrock just one meter deep, highly degraded. These types of soils offer us long-aged, fresh, volume and structured wines.

VARIETIES
100% Tempranillo wine, selection of old clones from the area.

ELABORATION
Harvest in boxes of 18 kg. which are cooled at 5ºC for 12 hours before being processed by sorting table. Made with 40% whole grape selected and crushed in a traditional way. The rest destemmed and crushed. The grapes ferment with the vineyard’s own yeasts. The work with the cap of skins is carried out only by punching, without pumps. Malolactic fermentation in a 4000-liter oak vat.

AGEING
18 months in 2000-liter French oak barrels and subsequent assembly in 4000-liter conical wooden barrel.

"Fresh, structured and complex, this wine is very aromatic, with silky texture and mineral notes. It is vertical and polished on the palate.”

Raúl Tamayo, Proelio Oenologist

La Esperilla,
our battlefield

One of our most significant estates is La Esperilla, a territory that has a sentimental significance for the winery. We look for unexplored lands to obtain different wines, and here, in the soil on which La Asperilla is based, legend has it that, like all of them, it has some reality and always a little imagination, that it was where the battle of Clavijo was fought, a battle that pitted King Ramiro I of Asturias against the Muslims, and that, in reality, could be a mixture of stories from various battles.

But the importance of this estate for us is that it is here that we decided to bet on the red wines of Rioja, where we began to dream of making unique red wines that speak of that landscape at the foot of the Castle of Clavijo.

Proelio's personality comes from the terroir; the character is refined in the winery. A simple space that is perfectly integrated into its natural environment. Large windows on the walls, which allow for work in which hardly any artificial light is used and therefore, a very environmentally friendly architecture.

We only use oak vats, where extractions are carried out in the most respectful way by means of punching. Subsequently in traditional barrels to progressively increase the capacity of the tanks, until ending up in 2,000 litre casks. For the final assembly, the concrete tanks are reserved where the wine ends its journey.
