Production
Fermented in stainless steel to highlight primary fruit character, then aged for 12 months in American oak barriques, which impart notes of spice, toast and sweet vanilla. The result is a wine that balances youthful energy with gentle oak polish — a hallmark of well-made Crianza.
Vineyard
Tempranillo sourced from the calcareous clay soils of Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta, regions prized for producing fruit with both concentration and freshness. The Atlantic influence and significant day–night temperature swings help preserve acidity and aromatic lift, while careful vineyard management ensures balanced yields and flavour depth.
Pairing
A versatile partner for the table: ideal with classic tapas, cured meats and charcuterie, but equally at home alongside grilled lamb chops, juicy burgers or a casual barbecue spread. Its bright fruit and spice make it a flexible choice across a range of flavours.
