A selection of very low-yield vineyards, situated on land stretching from the high foothills of the Moncayo mountain range in Aragon up to the warmer lands crossed by the river Queiles, in the autonomous community of Navarre. The grape harvest starts in the lowlands around mid-September and continues until well into October, when the grapes in the highest vineyards are harvested. The grapes are harvested in 15 kg boxes which are quickly taken to the Winery where they are sorted to ensure that only optimum quality grapes are used in the winemaking process.

Tasting: Cherry red with a very deep robe, with purple tones on the rim. Complex and tremendously subtle bouquet, combining very ripe black fruit, almost caramelised, with spices, coffee and the aroma of undergrowth. Full bodied, highly structured and long on the palate, with mature tannin and great persistence, with a complex nose appearing yet again in the aftertaste.

Tasting: Violet black, almost opaque in colour. Surprising nose, due to its intensity and complexity, with a predominance of black fruit compote, together with caramelized sugars, coffee, cocoa, spices and smoked wood, which denote excellent aging of more than 18 months in new French oak barrels. Powerful on the palate, in its purest state, but with a fine and elegant tannin. Long and persistent, leaving an unforgettable aftertaste.
