STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

Made from a single vineyard that’s over 70-year-old with 95% Tempranillo and the rest Garnacha and Graciano. The grapes are cold fermented prior to fermentation before ageing for 18 months in new French oak barrels. The wine is quite dark for Rioja with aromas of red berries, brambles and cranberry with a light cinnamon like spice and a touch of vanilla. There’s ripe tannin on the palate giving focus and length to the lingering finish.
