In the cellar: Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in 500L clay tinajas de barro (amphora); no added sulfur; crushed by foot in giant lagares carved from granite boulders buried in and around the vineyards of Rioja Alavesa
Farming method: Biodynamic; grapes are from Matagallina in the El Ciego village located at 450m to 500m
Tasting notes: A juicy, light-weight Rioja with a bit of white grapes added to the red. Garden-fresh like a bouquet of violets and clovers, with medium tannins and lingering finish.
