A full-bodied, complex & elegant Rioja from a parcel of old vines that surround an 800 year old olive tree on the estate. The wine is full bodied, complex & elegant with well-integrated oak & fine grained tannins. Rich ripe black fruits & a long finish. Grapes were hand harvested & carefully selected from our plot Vina del Olivo (surrounding a 1000 year old olive tree), that were put into 20 kilo baskets to transport them to the winery to be fermented in our 100HL French oak winemaking vats at 28-30°C for 10 days. Malolactic fermentation took place in new French oak barrels, & for the barrel ageing we put the wine in French, American & Hungarian oak casks successively for 17 months. Finally, the wine was aged in bottle for over a year before release.
