Harvest: Middle of October (3 to 10), our harvester all of whom are family members handpicked the grapes and we used containers of 12 kilos to protect the grapes.
Wine process: We kept the must contained for 3-4 days delaying the fermentation process and extracting colour from the antocyans (maceration). The wine was pumped over 3 times a day to break the cap and extract the richest colour possible. The alcoholic fermentation lasted from 7 to 9 days and the tempetature was controlled between 27 to 29 degrees. Pip extraction reaching 20% using the delestages method. Only first must. Natural malolactic fermentation. Clarified with albumin. Decanted due to the harshness of the winter. Not filtered
Bottling: By November of the same year the wine was put into barrels, 45% American, 45% French and 10% Hungarian and Spanish. After 17 months in barrel was bottled in May 31st of 2013, where it rests until the day of labeling and subsequent consumption.
Tasting Note:
· Colour: Intense with much dye. High well-defined layer. Cherry red with violet details on the rim. Glycerin, clean, bright and stunning vibrancy for the time in barrel.
· Nose: Powerful fruit, crisp, intense and fresh aromas of blackberry and currants, plums, all stewed, flashes of oak (cinnamon, toffee, caramel, spices and leather), balsamic vanilla. Good balanced with alcohol notes, outfitted.
· On the Palate: Fruit forward, but dry, powerful, fresh and fruity tannin. Evolution without pinching. Eternal finish. In its optimum moment to be consumed.
On the banks of the Duero, keeping the richness of a soil that was once a river, the lands where our wines are born extend.

The most important pillars of the Winery are the Naturality and Health of the wines. Wines made in an artisanal and natural way, which reflect the rich soils from which they come and the magic of knowing how to combine the different types of French, American, Spanish and Hungarian oak barrels.
