Very characterful, transparent nose. Pure and driven with finely etched black fruit outlined by juicy, zesty acid. Earthy, savoury notes (black olive, prune, wild oregano) play in the background. Lovely quality to the tannins, at once smooth and assertive, with a broody earthy depth. A blend of Tempranillo with some Maturana Tinta grown in the 10ha La Reñana vineyard at 600m, between Laguardia and Elvillar in Rioja Alavesa, the oldest vines dating back to 1920. Vinified in stainless steel tanks, the wine is transferred into French and American oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and subsequent 24-month maturation.
