Learn More About This Wine

Made from high quality, low-yielding grapes from small, old hillside vineyard parcels on limestone soils. Parcelas is a blend of village wines effectively, where the parcels are not included in the village specific wines such as V1BN4 or L4GD4 they are included in this wine. About a quarter of the wine is aged for about 6 months in new French oak for added complexity and texture, but no overt oak character.

Shows pure and intense primary aromas of dark cherries with a hint of violet and clove. Medium bodied, with remarkable complexity and concentration. The quality of the fruit shines, displaying the typical character of cooler climate Rioja Alavesa, without being masked by excessive oak ageing. The intense fruit is beautifully balanced by fresh acidity, chiselled, chalky tannins and a long, mineral finish.

A serious, lightly oaked wine that will benefit from two or three years cellaring after release and keep for another five years. A good match for grilled meats, hard cheeses, pasta and rice dishes.
