This wine is made exclusively from Tempranillo grapes, mostly grown on bush vines of over 30 years old. Although all the grapes come from Rioja Alta vineyards, they come from climate areas which are less extreme than the family’s best-known vineyard, “La Emperatriz”. Less atlantic influence means that the wines do not require such a long ageing. Made in concrete and stainless steel tanks, at low temperatures and with gentle pumpovers. The malolactic fermentation takes place in a mixture of cements tanks, a 5,000-litre woodenvat and used 500-litre oak barrels. Then the juice spends 5 months, split between the cement tanks, the wooden vat and the oak barrels.
