HARVEST AND VINE SELECTION
Harvested from two plots located in Villalba de Rioja during the second week of October. Manual harvest in boxes, with vines selected both at the vineyard and winery. This vintage is characterised by a overall lack of rainfall, high temperatures from May onwards, and rain at the end of September. This harvest is classified as Very Good by the D. O. Rioja’s Regulatory Council.
ELABORATION AND FERMENTATION
Using traditional methods, cold pre-fermentation maceration is carried out with dry ice, and stalking with daily remontage are combined with delestage and pigeage. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats at 28ºC, and malolactic fermentation in barrel, followed by ageing in one-use French oak barrels for 20 months.
