Production

Hand-harvested grapes undergo a 12-day fermentation followed by 17 days on fine lees in barrel for extra texture. The wine is matured for 21 months in 300 L French oak (mostly new, some second-fill) and bottled after further ageing.

Vineyard

Sourced from the 5 ha Chafandín parcel, planted over 40 years ago on limestone-rich soils. High-elevation sites in Ribera del Duero with marked diurnal shifts produce fruit with depth, aromatic complexity and natural structure.

Pairing

A natural partner for richly flavoured dishes — braised ox cheek, roast venison or slow-cooked lamb shoulder. Mature Manchego or aged blue cheeses also bring out its depth.
