A polished and well made wine with balanced oak that brings some attractive woody spice and fresh acidity. Appealing herbal aromas add complexity and there is great concentration of fruit on the palate with layers of black and red berry topped with some spice. This offers a lot at the price point and is a certain crowdpleaser. An equal-parts blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha sourced from two sites in, respectively, Abalos in Rioja Alta, and Tudelilla in Rioja Oriental, at high elevations between 650m and 700m. The two were fermented separately in concrete tanks, then aged separately too: the Tempranillo in medium-toast, 500L French oak barrels of first and second use, and the Garnacha in light-toast second use. After 15 months, the wines were blended and rested in concrete again for six months before bottling.
