A moreish, endless finish is preluded by incredible textural complexity on the mid-palate and perfumed detail. Juicy citrus, layered with crunchy red and blue berries and succulent pink and white orchard fruit. Cherry pit and blood orange pith give it energy and edge. Really smart blending here, based on Garnacha and Tempranillo with smaller portions of Graciano and Viura, from vineyards in Rioja Alavesa planted in 1950 on sandy limestone soils. Whole bunches were fermented using indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic and maturation for 18 months in 228L barrels, with the wine bottled unfined and unfiltered.
