The grapes come from more than 30-year-old, low-yielding parcels in Rioja Alta near Cenicero, whose soils range from Quaternary river terraces to poor tertiary hillside sites. The grapes are entirely hand-picked by parcel. Fermentation takes place under temperature control in stainless steel; malolactic fermentation occurs partly in tank and predominantly in new barriques. The wine then matures for 14 months in new and once-used French and American oak barrels, followed by at least twelve months in bottle. It shows dark fruit, liquorice, balsamic and spicy notes, medium to full body and ripe, supple tannins.
