GRAPE VARIETIES 80% Tempranillo, 9% Mazuelo, 8% Garnacha, 3% Graciano. AGEING PROCESS The wine is aged for 29 months in 225-litre American oak barrels. PAIRING Baked side of kid, roasted pumpkin, dried fruits and fermented garlic; deboned hare with hazelnut toast with mustard and citrus; steamed and grilled bream with roasted spring onion, red wine and beet cream; red wine sorbet with chocolate chips. SERVING SUGGESTIONS We recommend decanting the wine 30 minutes before serving. Recommended serving temperature: 16-17° C (60-63° F) to let the wine breathe and show its full aromatic potential. Grapes are first de-stemmed and then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for 9 days, with constant skin contact. During fermentation pumping over and punching down operations are regularly carried out. These processes ensure both effective and gentle color and aroma extraction. Afterwards the solid parts of the grapes are squashed in a vertical press. This is a gentle process that extracts color and ripe tannins from the grapes skin. 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.
