Vineyards
Grapes for this wine were selected from an average of 40-year old vineyards configured in both trellis-trained and the traditional goblet system in Rioja Alavesa, with some coming from Rioja Alta. In both areas, soils are clay-ferrous and clay-limestone, suitable for vine-growing, since it allows for perfect drainage.
Winemaking
Fermentation of the must took place over 15 days and maceration was conducted in stainless steel temperature-controlled vats with daily pump-overs in order to achieve optimum color & tannin extraction. Malolactic fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks and then the wine was racked twice before moving to oak barrels. It was aged in American oak barrels for 24 months (30% new, and the rest was 3 years old). There was further bottle aging of 12 months prior to release.
