It owns 40 hectares of Tempranillo vines, the main variety in the D.O., and makes wines that combine traditional techniques (sorting of bunches by hand) with cutting-edge technology.

Creators' opinion
Intense colour, enticing aromas, elegant and long on the palate. Black-cherry coloured with a ruby-red rim. Intense, fresh nose with enticing floral hints enveloped in subtle aromas of red fruit and touches of sweetness that recall caramel. Its subtle fragrance of mint and balsamic notes lends it distinction.
A mouthful of fresh red fruit on the attack, with lightness and highly delicate flavours from wood that give it complexity. Long but pleasant, silky and balanced.
