ELABORATION:
Harvest: Manual in 15 kg boxes.
Fermentation: 21 days in stainless steel tanks.
Routines: Cold maceration of the grapes prior to fermentation to favour the extraction of aromatic precursors. Daily pumping over to achieve greater extraction and greater colour intensity. Spontaneous natural fermentation.
Aging: 14 months in French oak barrels (half of the barrels are new) and a minimum of 3 years in bottle.
WINERIES AND VINEYARDS
Location: Plots at altitude in the 'Viñas de Briñas' area, between the municipalities of Briñas (Rioja Alta) and Labastida (Rioja Alavesa).
Climate: Oceanic Mediterranean, with continental and Atlantic influences.
The 2017 vintage was characterised by the harsh frost at the end of April and by a few months of great prosperity that followed, ideal for obtaining a healthy, high-quality harvest.
Soils: Limestone in nature with clay and sandstone incursions, with a clay loam texture and very poor in organic matter.
Variety : 100% Tempranillo.
