Description
PRODUCTION AREA: Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin. Made from the red grape variety Tempranillo (aka Tinta del Païs) sourced from vines grown in clay-sand soils around the village of Olmedillo de Roa in Burgos province.
GRAPE VARIETIES: 100% Tempranillo
WINE-MAKING: The grapes are carefully selected and picked by hand. After a 2-day pre-fermentation cold soak, the must is fermented at a controlled-temperature of around 24°C to bring out optimal aromatic expression. The wine spends 3 months in American oak barrels and a further 6 months in bottle where it finishes its ageing process.
