The wine is made from vineyards located in different towns in the Sierra Cantabria: Labastida, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Ávalos, Samaniego, Leza, Elciego, Navaridas, Laguardia and Elvillar. These vineyards are between 25 and 40 years old, and contain Tempranillo, Graciano and a small amount of Mazuelo.The ageing of this wine is 2 years in 225-litre oak barrels. Its aromas are charming and sensual. Notes of cherries in liqueur combined with hints of strawberry jam and the comforting vanilla aromas of the wineskin create a full nose. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine, sweet tannins and perfect balance. The wood is clearly perceived, but without obscuring the purity of the fruit. A flash of orange peel and soy sauce emerges on the finish, adding even more complexity to this extremely noble wine. Superb Rioja.
