VINEYARDS | Tempranillo and Graciano from the foot of the Sierra Cantabria mountains and along the lower course of the Najerilla River. The Garnacha is harvested from bush vines near Badarán. Vines cultivated in alluvial soils offer ripeness and elegance to the wine, while the vines grown in calcareous and ferrous clay soils contribute structure and silkiness.
WINEMAKING | Fermentaion in conical stainless steel followed by 18 months in new and 2nd year French oak barrels with an additional 2 years bottle aging in the cellar.
PRESS | 92 WA
“The 2014 Reserva has more creaminess and influence from the élevage than other wines from more recent years. It’s very traditional, with balsamic notes of incense and cigar ash intermixed with forest floor and wild berries all in good harmony, coming through as integrated and balanced. The palate is medium to full-bodied with some dusty tannins and a twist of rusticity.“ - Luis Gutierrez
