This label is the conclusion of a rigorous and transparent assessment procedure consisting of the analysis and tasting of all the wines produced in the Rioja Qualified Designation of Origin. After a vegetative cycle with optimal ripening of the grapes, in recent months extraordinary results were observed in the evaluation of the fermentation tanks. The balance of the 2019 campaign focuses on the excellent health and vegetative situation of the vineyard and the condition of the clusters, loose, well aerated and accompanied by the moderate vigor of the plants. The result is very expressive white wines, with a great volume on the palate, in line with the reds. The vineyard from which the grapes come from is located in the Eastern Rioja, specifically in the area of Mendavia. Its geographical location is privileged, since it combines on the one hand the moderating effect of the Ebro River on the temperature, as well as being a land-forming agent influencing the formation of the soil, and on the other hand we find the Sierra de Codés, which is a continuation of the orographic group of the Sierra de Cantabria, which protects us from excessive rain and extreme temperatures. These unique characteristics create a mild climate that allows for optimal grape ripening.
An extraordinary and complex white wine qualified as "excellent". It is made with white Tempranillo and Viura varieties that give the wine a fruity and citric character. A unique blend that offers great expressiveness of aromas and a silky and fresh palate. Its 10-month aging in French oak barrels reveals notes of toast, vanilla and dried fruits.
