Character
Ripe, spicy with notes of dried cherries, dill, tobacco and chocolate.
Food pairing
Grilled beef and lamb dishes, stews and the occasional well-aged hard cheese.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested from vineyards in Rioja Alta and fermented for 10 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After completed fermentation, the wine rests on the skins for an additional 7 days. The wine is then aged for 36 months in American oak barrels (barriques) before being bottled and resting for at least an additional 24 months in bottle before release.
