The Riaza river moderates the climate, softening harsh winters and cooling the hot summer days, creating a unique microclimate. The old goblet-trained vines (40+ years) grow in predominantly limestone soils with some clay and sand. Grapes are hand-harvested with an initial vineyard selection. Fermentation begins with a subtle cold maceration at 8–10°C for 4 days, followed by 19 days of fermentation with native yeasts and daily gentle pressing. Malolactic fermentation and 11 months of maturation occur in 100% Iberian oak barrels with bi-weekly punch-downs, producing a wine with integrated oak and polished tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1285\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1285\" data-end=\"1302\"\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1305\"\u003eIntense aromas of ripe black fruit, black olive tapenade, tobacco, and subtle floral and mint notes.
