This wine comes from 80 year old tempranillo vines that have been harvested on five different microcells in Villabuena de Álava. The aging of this takes place over a year in used french oak barrels. There are notes of violet and subtle oak, with a backbone of tannin and acidity. A must have!
Sierra de Toloño wines come from vines grown on calcareous clay are at 650m in Labastida – one of the highest vineyards of the Rioja region. The mountains of the Sierra de Toloño protect the vines from northerly winds and create a special microclimate, cold because it is so high, but dry with the Mediterranean influence. These conditions are perfect for the grapes to ripen fully over a long period of time. The ripeness comes slowly, retaining natural acidity.
