Vinification

Hand harvested grapes from 60-90 year old vines are fermented in a combination of stainless steel, concrete, or oak vats, then aged for 20+ months in new French oak barrels.

Notes from critics

We carry a few brilliant Tempranillos in our portfolio and this one is near the top of the list of favorites. A voluptuous wine that's both powerful and elegant. The fruit and spice are amazing here, and the tannin is so perfectly integrated. This one is great today, but even better in 3-5 years. A gem!

98

The winery’s top wine, the 2022 was first made in 2000 and is 100% Tempranillo/Tinto Fino. Powerfully built, yet elegant, it combines old-vine grapes planted 60 to 90 years ago from a selection of villages: La Horra-Roa, a hilly area with shallow slopes and reddish-brown soils, and La Aguilera, full of calcareous stone. Together, they offer this contrast of grace and intensity etched in tart red fruit, sweet vanilla, and remarkably refined tannins.

96

A rich, deep and complex nose with plenty of wood spices, dark chocolate, fresh blackberries, violets and a touch of graphite. The highlight on the full-bodied palate is the quality and quantity of the tannins, which are massive but polished and dissolved. Really firm and long. Better from 2026, when the wood spices settle more.
