Colección Histórica
Tasting Notes
A complex and enveloping aromatic concentration stands out along with characteristics of the grapes at the time of harvesting. It offers aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and a touch of Mediterranean herbs. The secondary aromas of vanilla, clove, cedar, tobacco and caramel are thanks to its maturation in quality oak and time to rest in the bottle.
Vineyards
The grapes for this Historic Collection Rioja come from vineyards in Haro, Ollauri and other areas of Rioja Alta. The clay-limestone soil in this region allows for optimum acidity to achieve expressive aromas and good aging potential.
Vintage Notes
The 2005
vintage was classified by the Rioja Control Board as “Excellent” and many consider it to be historic, as the grapes and the vegetative cycle exceeded expectations. This was due to exceptional weather conditions throughout the year. High quality grapes with a higher concentration of aroma and flavor.
Winemaking
The grapes were handpicked in October and fermented for 25 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine was aged for 24 months in French and American oak barrels before bottling in 2009.
