ELLABORATION

Wine made according to the traditional method of bleeding red grapes, after having maintained a brief contact with their skins for about six hours. Once the must is obtained, it ferments at a controlled temperature in a stainless steel tank. Then the normal stabilization and filtration processes prior to bottling will take place.

HARVEST

The vegetative state of the vineyard has been very good in terms of health throughout La Rioja.

Due to the thermal oscillations and small rainfall during the month of May and June, the amount of grapes was reduced, obtaining small and loose bunches, less compact, which considerably increased the quality.

The evolution of the grapes was delayed compared to last year but the low yields caused an earlier ripening, matching the harvest dates.

TASTING NOTES

Bright and clean wine, pale pink. On the nose it is frank, medium intensity with notes of red and citrus fruits. Memories of stone fruits such as peach and apricot. On the palate you can see the balance between freshness and acidity typical of young wines, very fruity also reminiscent of stone fruits, with a pleasant and sweet finish.
