Grapes are sourced from our Ygay Estate:300 hectares of vineyards surrounding the winery in the southernmost point of Rioja Alta. Altitude ranges from 320 to 485 meters above sea level. 87% Tempranillo, 6% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo, 2% Garnacha.Grapes are first de-stemmed and then fermented in stainless Steel tanks for 8 days at controlled temperature in constant skin contact. During fermentation pumping over and punching down operations are regularly carried out. These processes ensure both effective and gentle colour and aroma extraction. Afterwards the solid parts of the grapes were are pressed in vertical presses with double screws.The wine is aged for 18 months in 225 litre American oak barrels.
