Description:
Established in 1964 by a group of local growers, this 160 hectare estate isnamed after the best plots in the Rioja Alavesa. Its unique position, wherethe River Ebro is closest to the Sierra Cantabria mountains, provides ablend of continental and Mediterranean climates, preventing an excess ofextreme cold and rain. The poor soils, a base of shallow limestone, help limit the yield and provide grapes of great concentration and colour. In addition,the majority of the vineyards lie between 450-550 metres above sea level, meaning cooler nights and thus a greater retention of natural acidity in the grapes.
The wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks before spending between 4-18 months in French and American oak, depending on the designation.
COLOUR Ruby tone at the centre with a dark deep colour and lively edge.
NOSE Cherry and blackberry jam. The wood, although noticeable, complements the openly fruity character of the wine, adding some cinnamon and toasted vanilla notes to the aroma’s finish.
PALATE Full with a potent impression, which supports the balance between good acidity and a velvety feel. On the finish, it shows a mix of dairy and marinated fruit. It shows body, good complexity, strength and richness of nuances in the mouth as well as good persistency.
FOOD PAIRING Recommended with steaks and other red meats, casseroles, stews, lamb, Spanish chorizo sausages, hard and blue cheeses.
