This is the entry-level wine of the estate. The grapes come from 30+ year-old vines, framed organically, and located in La Aguilera, one of Ribera's most famous villages. A nice and elegant Ribera del Duero.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested in small baskets. Then they are fermented (only with indigenous yeast of the estate), partly in concrete tanks, partly in stainless steel tanks.
The ageing takes place in concrete tanks and wood barrels (225 and 500 litres).

Trial analysis
Dark red colour. On the nose, red and black berries. The red fruit reappear on the palate, juicy, with elegant tannins.
Long finish. A nicely woven wine.
