Its classic Rioja bouquet stands out, big, complex and round, with an elegant finish. selected clusters were picked manually.

After gentle destemming and crushing, the wines underwent an unhurried fermentation. Subsequently, the best batches were put in barrels, where they were aged for 6 years with 10 traditional rackings. During this time, we carried out new selections, so there were only 199 barrels in the final blend. These were bottled in March 2012. We produced 57,036 3⁄4-litre bottles and 1,312 1.5-litre magnums. In order to preserve all the aromatic components, this wine has not been filtered.
