Description

"Yellow stonefruit and pears commingle on the attractive and expressive nose that lures you into the glass. Dry, yet juicy, the palate is mid weighted with great structure and presence thanks to the steely acid line present and helps the wine linger on the palate" Cuisine Magazine

Straw-yellow in colour, with greenish rim. Good intensity in the nose, hints of pome and stone fruits accompanied by a slight aroma of white flowers and a subtle mineral reminiscence. Fresh and balanced on the palate with ample sensations and a long finish. The retro-nasal effects of stone fruits and pome fruits come together with some reminiscences of dry fruits.

95% White Tempranillo, 5% Malvasía riojana. 15 years old, at an altitude of 700 metres above sea level..

Vineyards in Albelda de Iregua and Montes de Clavijo, which are very close to the area where White Tempranillo first appeared. The vineyards are located at an altitude of around 700 meters, which guarantees a slow ripening process, synonymous with great aromatic richness and freshness.

Harvest with optimal aromatic maturation, light pressing in the absence of oxygen to avoid oxidizing aromas, fermentation in stainless steel tanks at low temperature to preserve aromas and subsequent aging on fine lees for four months in steel tanks and French oak barrels where the lees are stirred three times a week to give the wine more broadness on the palate. Four months on its lees in stainless steel.
