About the vineyard[+]
The grapes come from Finca Ygay, located between 320 and 485 metres above sea level in Rioja Alta. The soils are mainly calcareous clay, with good drainage capacity. This combination of altitude, orientation, and soil composition allows for slow ripening, favouring wines with structure, balance, and natural freshness.
