Enologist: Javier Martínez de Salinas

D.O.C. Rioja

Grapes: Viura (90%) and Malvasia, White garnacha 10%

Ageing: The must was fermented in new casks at a temperature of between twelve and sixteen degrees centigrade.  Subsequently, and after racking, it was kept on the finest of the lees for more than two months with occasional "bâtonnages" or stirring of the lees. This process achieves a perfect ageing, increasing the sensation of volume in the mouth and the stability of the white wine.

TASTING NOTES
The sensation in the mouth is very well-balanced, silky smooth and with great finesse. The finish, with a touch of acicdity, brings back the whole range of aromas, together with hints of smokiness and spices.
Due to the way it has been made and its analytical characteristics, this wine can be expected to evolve steadily for two or three years, giving greater roundness on the palate and terriary aromas of maturity.
