The grapes come from very old vines at around 600 metres. For the 2022 vintage, calcareous, fine-grained clay soils in Rioja Alavesa and iron-rich clay soils near Camprovín are cited; yields are only around 20–30 hl/ha. The deeply coloured Clarete is partly made with whole bunches, fermented spontaneously and matured for ten months in used oak casks or a 500- to 600-litre tonneau. It shows rich red fruit and sour cherry, plum, spice and savoury notes, with plenty of drive, ripe fruit and a long, slightly liqueur-like finish. The wine was bottled unfiltered.
