Vineyards

Single estate vineyard located in Altos de Corral a hill in the municipality of Navarrete (Rioja Alta), at an altitude of 600 m. We cultivate only Tempranillo on this small 10 hectare estate, the principal variety of the famous Rioja DO. Our soils are clayey and chalky on the northern edge with alluvial in the south, the surface has iron rich red soil and large rocks. The predominant climate influence is continental Mediterranean.

Tasting

Deep cherry-red colour with violet hues on the rim. On the nose, it is profound and elegant, offering ripe black fruit aromas such as blackberry and plum, along with hints of wild herbs, fine spices, and a subtle mineral background that reflects its altitude. On the palate, it is serious and well-structured, with firm, ripe tannins, lively acidity, and a long finish. A wine with great personality that evolves in the glass and stands out for its authenticity.

 

Optimal serving temperature: between 15ºC and 18ºC

 

Pairing

An ideal match for white meats such as herb-roasted chicken, as well as red meats like grilled entrecôte or beef stew. It also pairs beautifully with soft-ripened cheeses such as Camembert and enhances the flavours of hearty spoon dishes and traditional stews, like a classic beef ragout.
