Product

Hand harvested. Young vines planted in 2001 the vineyard of El Rincon, in the South of Briones. Grapes from new vineyards are used for this wine until the vines are old enough for the Reservas. Bunch sorting, fermentation in stainless steel vats, and aging for 12 months in ‘second-useâ€?500-liter barrels previously used for their Reservas. Topped up after 6 weeks to minimize oxidation. Bottled and aged for an additional 12 months for development. On the nose, expect intense aromas of red berries with notes of cocoa, balsamic, and toasted oak. On the palate, flavours of red fruit and spices with balanced tannins, good acidity and a long finish.
