Vinification, winemaker's own words
- Soils:
- Clay
- Terroir:
- 1.5 Hectares of extreme viticulture in irregular and ancestral formation. Old vineyard, (93 years old), worked by hand without using mechanical means. A fresh, Atlantic environment, benefited by the refreshing factor of the altitude of the Najerilla valley, Rioja Alta.
- Harvest:
- Picked by hand
- Fermentation:
- -
- Storage:
- -
- Winemaker:
- ALFREDO BERNALDEZ
Fermentation always occurs naturally and spontaneously. The grapes always ferment in 500-liter oak barrels with an open lid, without temperature control with indigenous yeasts. The maceration is variable but can last up to two or three weeks. Aging for more than 24 months in new French and Hungarian oak barrels. After aging, a slight clarification is carried out.
