To produce our red wines, we mainly use Tempranillo from vineyards located near the Sierra de Yerga mountains, within the Cervera region, at an average altitude of 700m, in areas such as Rincón de Olivedo or Grávalos. For red wines intended for barrel aging, we use grapes from vineyards in the Cabretón area, known for their high altitude, which yield grapes with excellent acidity and great longevity. Our Garnacha largely comes from Rioja Alta, where we work with vineyards in the Nájera region, near Alesanco, from which we obtain late-ripening grapes under cool conditions.

| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Tasting notes | Dark cherry red with a light mahogany rim. It has a very elegant and complex, enveloping nose, highlighting aromas of candied fruits perfectly integrated with notes of roasted and spicy flavors. Well-structured palate with extremely polished tannins. |
| Vinification | With different ripening rates and harvested at their optimum moment, each variety is processed separately. Upon arrival at the winery, they are destemmed, keeping a high proportion of whole berries. Next, the controlled fermentation process begins at a temperature between 24 and 28ºC in stainless steel tanks with native and selected yeasts. After a maceration process of 15-20 days, malolactic fermentation begins. |
| Recommendation | The best everyday Gran Reserva. |
