Great mineral precision, expressiveness and length, very Alavesa. 95% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha, bush vines grown at 500m in vineyards planted in the 1980s. Fermentation with native yeasts takes place in open French oak vats, followed by malolactic in new 600L French oak barrels, then maturation over two winters in the same casks. Gravelly tannins, drenched in lemon and clementine juice. Plum, sour cherry and crunchy Russet apple at the core, cloaked in oregano, thyme and sage. Elegant, earthy rusticity plays in the background throughout. Will evolve beautifully in bottle.
