The selection of our oldest plots located on the slopes that have seen the Rioja Alavesa evolve, produce this intense long-lived wine that, after five years in bottle, reaches its maximum splendor, lasting over time and surprising in nuances and elegance
This is a plot of 0.41 hectares, planted in 1941, with very poor, deep soil and a high proportion of limestone. This is combined with good exposure to both the sun and the north winds, which favors a slow and long ripening.
From this vineyard, combined with a series of other vineyards that reach 90 years of age, located on the slopes of Sierra Cantabria, we make our longest-lived wine with which we seek to show the extraordinary aging capacity that Rioja wines have historically demonstrated.
Deep cherry color and deep layer. Aromas of red pome fruits, cherry and plum, with a subtle contribution of wood in the background. Ample and forceful in the mouth with good length throughout the palate, with the fruit predominating over the spicy notes from the oak, which complement and amplify it on the finish. Harmonious and with a good aftertaste.
Stews, game, dishes prepared with mushrooms and smoked cheeses.
