100% Tempranillo grapes from 40-year-old gobelet-pruned vines nurtured on gravel over clay-limestone soils at elevations between 300 and 500 meters. Hand-harvested and fermented in concrete tanks, this wine matures for 18 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels, imparting complexity and refined tannins without any of the expected trappings of an oak-influenced wine. The result is a sophisticated Rioja with balanced structure and remarkable depth...delicious! Pair with chicken in a pimentón sauce and fried potatoes with a big green salad.
