The winery has vineyards mostly planted of Tempranillo grapes in vases but also vineyards of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec planted in espalier. The composition of the soil is essentially calcareous clay.
2016 vintage is exceptional and elegant. It has a dark rubycolor and intense aromas of red fruit, with very subtle spaced touches, coming from the barrel aging. Tasty and fruity entrance on the palate with very well integrated tannins and long and complex finish.
Harvest: First week of October.
Manual harvest for optimal maturation stages.
Aging: 12 months in French oak barrels of 225 l.
