• James Suckling 92 Points: “Perfumed aromas of dark cherry, plum, and cedar with a full-bodied, chalky texture. Structured tannins lead to a firm, lingering finish—best enjoyed from 2022 onward.”
• Winemaker’s Insight: Vibrant red cherry hues introduce an aromatic blend of ripe berries, vanilla, and spice. On the palate, expect balance, freshness, and a long, velvety finish—hallmarks of meticulous aging in French and American oak barrels.

Crafted with Tradition

Sourced from 35–40-year-old vines in Rioja’s Alavesa and Alta subregions, the grapes thrive in chalky clay soils, imparting minerality and depth. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel, the wine undergoes 24 months in oak (30% new barrels) and an additional year in bottle, ensuring refined complexity.
