| Vineyard | A vineyard of more than 25 years located at 1,100 meters above sea level. Its orientation is West-East, which provides a rapid natural runoff of water from rain and snowmelt. The driving system used is the high trellis system. |
| Soil composition | Of alluvial origin, poor and sandy-loamy texture, with important presence of stone and calcium carbonate. These soils are defined as "calcareous" and convey great elegance and complexity to wines. |
| Harvest | Manual, in small plastic boxes of 12 kg |
| Winemaking | Upon entering the winery, the grapes go through a double-selection belt system to band and vibrant. A cold maceration at 8°C is performed for five days. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, close to 30ºC. The wine (80%) then goes into second-use French oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and rests for eight months. Once placed in the bottle, it is stowed for a minimum of three months, until reaching the optimum point of consumption. |
| Tasting notes | Intense maroon red color. It has notes of red fruits (raspberry, blackberry) pepper, herbs and spices (jarilla, thyme, rosemary) and mineral (graphite). Ideal for pairing with tomato-based dishes, vinegar-based sauces or rich legumes such as beluga lentils, game meats, empanadas, stews, etc. |
