About the vineyard[+]

The Tempranillo grapes (80%) come from vines aged more than 30 years old, planted in the La Cuesta and Montecillo estates, in Fuenmayor and Cenicero; the Garnacha (20%) comes from La Pedriza in Tudelilla (Rioja Oriental), an estate lying at 550 metres above sea level with the ground covered in pebbles. The poor soils restrict yields, but ensure the fruit is of exceptional quality.
