Vineyards
The vines grow in alluvial soil, the remnants of an ancient glacier in Sojuela. The vineyard is oriented towards the north, which is perfect to resist the hottest summers, and located at some 640 m a.s.l., with vines that are on average 80 years old. These are perfect conditions for age-worthy wines.

Preparation
The wine was stirred daily to transfer the lees (manoproteins), resulting in a wine with greater volume in a natural way.

Ageing
The wine underwent fermentation for approximately 36 months in French oak barrels and 24 months of aging in the bottle, totaling 5 years.

Tasting Notes
Pale yellow color with pronounced golden highlights, clear and bright. On the nose: it presents a special creaminess, with a note reminiscent of slightly burnt crema catalana. In the mouth: stone fruit along with notes that recall aging in well-integrated noble wood.

Pairing
Perfect for pairing with rice, fish, and white meats. It is even suitable for dessert wine alongside a cured cheese. It also complements dishes like red tuna tartare or Riojan white asparagus very well.
