Aiurri

The grapes come from small, old vineyard sites in Leza at the foot of the Sierra de Toloño. The soils are described as silty-clayey with a high limestone content; different elevations, orientations and microclimates are farmed separately. After hand harvesting and double sorting, fermentation takes place spontaneously, by parcel and by gravity, with gentle extraction in French oak vessels and concrete. The 2023 vintage matured for 18 months in French barriques of different sizes, followed by two months in concrete. The style combines dark fruit, spice, taut acidity, fine-grained tannins and a firm, balanced body. ([almacarraovejas.com](https://almacarraovejas.com/bodega-aiurri/?utm_source=openai))
