From 0.8ha of old vines at 520m-630m on sandy soils in Baños de Ebro, Rioja Alavesa; 80% Tempranillo combined with co-planted Garnacha Tinta, Graciano and white Palomino Fino. The berries are selected individually and spontaneous fermentation and malolactic take place in 600L French oak casks, where the wine then ages for up to 16 months. While this is young, it displays balance and appealing layers of fruit that suggest exciting development to come. With talc, rose petal and red cherry aromas, the wine opens up to a poised palate with direct acidity, elegance and ripe tannins. It is quite subtle, restrained and fresh. Absolutely charming. Organic.
