Juicy and energetic throughout, supported by zesty, vibrant acid. Plum, sloe and blackberry explode at the core, sprinkled with oregano, thyme, tarragon and saffron. Moreish weight on the mid-palate is followed by a long, savoury finish full of perfumed Mediterraean herbs and black olive tapenade. Mostly Tempranillo with 5% Garnacha, with the fruit sourced from two sites in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, at 550m and 750m, and two sites at 450m in Abalos, at the northwestern edge of the Rioja Alta sub-region. The wine was fermented in concrete tanks then aged in a mix of concrete, clay amphora and oak foudre for 12 months. A delicous, fun wine, best enjoyed a bit chilled.
