Blanco
Tasting Notes
Pale yellow with golden reflections. Very complex and harmonious, with notes of citric fruits and white flowers, fine vanilla and the toasted touches of the maturation in oak. On the palate, it is fresh, crisp and structured, with good acidity. The very juicy aftertaste is silky and persistent.
Vineyards
The vineyards are in the ‘Viñas en Briñas’ area, between the municipalities of Briñas (Rioja Alta) and Labastida (Rioja Alavesa). The climate is Mediterranean, with quite a strong Atlantic influence.
Vintage Notes
After a dry and hot summer, the long 2016 vintage benefited from a good weather and the harvest achieved a high quality. Rioja’s Regulatory Council qualified this year as ‘Very Good’. The vines are approximately 30 years old, and the soils are clay- limestone.
Winemaking
The grapes were hand-harvested at the beginning of October. The wine undergoes 3 months of fermentation with its lees in new French oak barrels, and then matures in the same French oak barrels for 6 months. After bottling, it rests for 1 year before becoming available.
