Ratings & Reviews

Vineyard

60 ha total, over 35 plots of different soil types, continental climate at a high altutude plateau with striking temperature variations during each season. Most remarkable Vineyards are Tomas Esteban and Juegabolos planted by Tomas Esteban, and those in the Valdehermoso section added by current generation Juan and Ricardo Esteban.

Vinification

The fermentation process is very gentle without intensive extraction, in stainless steel tanks with a capacity of 12,000 kg. During production no enzymes or yeasts are used that do not come naturally from the grapes themselves. Malolactic fermentation in cement.

Aging

Aging: 18 months
Type of Wood: 80% French ak, 20% American oak, 30% new and 70% one wine.
