Viticulture

The vineyards are head trained, dry farmed, and farmed without any use of fungicides, herbicides, or pesticides.

Terroir

The grapes are sourced from several small plots of head trained, dry farmed Graciano planted 90 years ago at 550M above sea level in alluvial soils. These are vineyards planted by the parents of the winery's founders.

Ratings & Reviews

Vineyard

50% of the production of our wine is sourced from estate grown vineyards, that are a blend of head trained and trellised vineyards planted at 500M above sea level on the foothills of the mountains in Rioja Baja. The soils are alluvial deposits of the Ebro river. Our vineyards of Garnacha are up to 110 years old, and are mostly head trained. Our Graciano vineyards are between 90 and 20 years old and are both head trained and planted on trellises. All are dry farmed.

Vinification

The grapes are destemmed and ferment in small concrete vat. Malolactic occurs in new French oak barriques.

Aging

12 months in new French oak barriques.
