WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The grapes come from 30 year old vines planted in the Rioja Alavesa and Alta vineyards. The soils are of the poor, chalky type with a clay-sandy texture. The vines are grown using the traditional “gobelet” system. After a selective pressing, which separates the different characters of the juice, a three-hour solid part maceration is conducted in order to increase the aromatic intensity of the wine. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve as much of the aromas as possible.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
This wine is ideally served slightly chilled with all types of seafood and fish. It is an ideal wine for salads and light meals.
