To produce this wine, we exclusively use grapes from Arnedo, where our winery is also located, allowing us to capture the essence of this origin and highlight the deep connection to our history. This well-defined location yields a unique wine with great personality. It reveals the distinct and singular identity of this municipality, protected by Peña Isasa, whose calcareous soils create ideal conditions for cultivating quality vineyards. The climate here is Mediterranean with some Atlantic influence, which benefits us with higher rainfall and cooler temperatures compared to other areas of Eastern La Rioja. This aids in the proper ripening of the grapes. Our vineyards, averaging 30 years old, are small plots located between 500 and 600 meters above sea level.

| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Tasting notes | Cherry red with brick-red highlights. The nose unfurls aromas of wild red and black fruits, with delicate hints of vanilla, licorice, and spices, a result of its aging in wood. On the palate, its warmth evokes memories of brandied cherries, with toasted nuances. The retro-nasal is floral and balsamic. Ideal with roasts, traditional stews, or mild cured cheeses. |
| Vinification | To make it, because each variety ripens at a different pace, we ferment each one separately. We start with the Tempranillo, which is destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts at controlled temperatures between 24 and 28ºC. Afterwards, the wine rests for six months in new American oak barrels. The Garnacha, which ripens later, is also fermented in stainless steel with native yeasts. After this, it is aged for one year in French oak vats. After this time, we blend both varieties, which will continue to age in the bottle, a phase in which they complete and transform, achieving greater complexity and elegance. |
| Recommendation | To give as a gift and surprise. |
