Vineyard 
Very old vineyards of Rioja Alavesa with altitudes of 600 meters, on clay- calcareous soils with yields of around 3,000 kg per hectare.

Winemaking
Direct pressing of the whole bunch, alcoholic fermentation with autochthonous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, previously seeking hyperoxidation when pressing. Then, the wine is transferred to used 600L French oak barrels where the fermentation ends, including malolactic, and where it will remain for 10 months before being bottled.
