Crafted primarily from Tempranillo grapes (90%), complemented by Garnacha and Graciano varieties, this wine undergoes meticulous vinification. The grapes are harvested manually and undergo extended maceration to extract deep color and flavor. Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, combined with a minimum of two years of bottle aging, it achieves a complex and well-rounded character. This aging process enriches the wine with a robust structure and refined tannins that showcase Rioja's winemaking tradition.\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe wine's deep garnet hue hints at its depth and quality.
