Seductive and fragrant with beautiful detail to the fruit (plum, red apple, cherry), which is soft and juicy yet retains a pleasant grip. Balanced and poised on the palate with a beautiful tannic texture, at once mineral and velvety. Outlined and nuanced by a filigree herbal edge of wild oregano, thyme and sage. Long finish, ripe and broody. 100% bush-vine Tempranillo planted in 2000 on a 2.8ha south-facing site at 650m, in Villalba de Rioja at the foot of the Obarenes mountains. Fermentation took place in concrete vats over several days, then malolactic fermentation in 500L French oak barrels, 25% new, where the wine remained for 12 months with no racking, before returning to the concrete vats for a further 15 months.
