This wine is intense garnet in colour. Aromas of juicy strawberries, cherries and blackberries are married with notes of vanilla and spices from oak ageing and subtle earthy hints. The palate is exceptionally well-structured and fleshy, knit together with velvety tannins. The concentrated flavours are balanced by a vibrant acidity and endure on the long finish
96% Tempranillo , 4% Mazuelo

María Barúa has been the head winemaker and technical director since 2002, and brings both scientific expertise (with an academic background in chemistry in addition to her oenology degree) and local knowledge (having been born and raised in Rioja). Together with her young and energetic team, María focuses on using the latest advances in winemaking to ‘express the virtues of the land’.
