Structured, coloured reds with a deep purple robe, firm tannins and a dense palate with preserved acidity. Signature aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), plum, spices, pepper and balsamic notes from the Rioja. Fine ageing potential. Reintroduced into the Rioja DOCa appellation in 2007, it represents a qualitative diversification of Riojan reds alongside Tempranillo. Native Spanish black grape of La Rioja, recently rediscovered after near extinction.

The word of the wine: Filling

Gentle transfer from one barrel to another to oxygenate the wine, eliminate some of the lees and reduce the carbon dioxide (fizz) that was released during the fermentations.
