Tasting Notes
Palate
The wines of 2018 have great personality, with freshness and a very fruity character.
Vinification
4 days of cold pre-fermentation maceration, with
short pumping over, taking maximum care while
extracting tannin, followed by aging in 225-liter
second and third year French oak barrels for 24
months. The wine then spends a minimum of 12
months in bottle.
Vintage Notes
The weather conditions of the 2018 vintage were
radically different from 2017. The year started off
with heavy snowfall on January 6th, which was a
sign of things to come: a cold and rainy vintage.
After one of the earliest harvests in our history, we
returned to a long-cycle harvest. This vintage is reminiscent of the
"tried and true" Rioja vintages: very fluid wines with
great aging potential.
Region Notes
Old bush vines grown in the Alto Najerilla region, next to the Cárdenas River, specifically within the triangle formed by the towns of Cordovín, Badarán and Cárdenas, at an altitude between 600 and 710 meters above sea level.
