From dry-farmed Tempranillo bush vines that are over 70 years old, planted at 750 m. Yields are extremely low (one to 2.5 tonnes per hectare) and the soils are very poor, with layers of gravel, sand, limestone and chalk over clay. The wine is aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, plus a further 12 months in bottle.
“Mid to deep crimson. Intense, though youthful, nose. Real potential for ageing here, provided you like your Tempranillo in French oak. Serious wine with just the right amount of concentration. Long. A fair price.”
