VARIETIES Tinto Fino (96%), Cabernet Sauvignon (3%) and Merlot (1%).
For the winemaking process of Arzuaga Reserva, grapes from vineyards more than 80 years old in the province of Burgos are used, together with a small percentage of vineyards in the province of Valladolid, thus combiniting the structure and complexity of the old vineyards with the freshness and liveliness of the younger vineyards, although cultivated in a traditional way.
All the harvest is done by hand in boxes of no more than 15 kg. At the optimum point of ripeness that marks the ideal date of harvest. This is done for each one of the more than 20 different plots used to make this wine. After the selection tables, it is vatted to make a pre-fermentative maceration at low temperature and later alcoholic fermentation at 28ºC, making possible for malolactic fermentation and aging, in new French oak barrels for 26 months.
